Hair is a functionally graded composite, not a uniform fiber
Andrew K. Schulz, Svetlana Griego, Vesna Srot +11
Hair provides mammals with diverse benefits, including protection, thermoregulation, and enhanced sensory perception. Unlike tendons and teeth, which are biomineralized, hair is hy…
Decoupling size from magnetism: A length-scale boundary for curvature control in micrometer FePt Janus particles
Natalia Gonzalez-Vazquez, Eylül Suadiye, Eberhard Goering +6
Curvature reshapes magnetization when a structure's dimensions approach intrinsic magnetic length scales, but functional magnetic colloids and microrobots are often micrometers in…
Augmenting knee biomechanics through programmable knitted ExoSkin orthoses
Krishma Singal, Samuel P. Kirschner, Andrew K. Schulz +4
A large subset of the population suffers injury or disease that causes knee pain and difficulty navigating day-to-day tasks. Off-the-shelf knee orthoses that are commonly used to t…
Functionally graded keratin facilitates tactile sensing in elephant whiskers
Andrew K. Schulz, Lena V. Kaufmann, Lawrence T. Smith +6
Keratin composites enable animals to hike with hooves, fly with feathers, and sense with skin. These distinct functions arise from variations in the underlying properties and micro…
Materials Matter: Investigating Functional Advantages of Bio-Inspired Materials via Simulated Robotic Hopping
Andrew K. Schulz, Ayah G. Ahmad, Maegan Tucker
In contrast with the diversity of materials found in nature, most robots are designed with some combination of aluminum, stainless steel, and 3D-printed filament. Additionally, rob…
Expanding Conservation Science through Emerging Interdisciplinary STEM Fields
Andrew K. Schulz, Adam S. Gouge, Christine L. Madliger
Conservation science is an interdisciplinary field that primarily draws on knowledge from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to inform policy, planning, and prac…
