Fast Ptychographic Near-Field Computed Tomography
Sami Wirtensohn, Silja Flenner, Imke Greving +13
Near-field X-ray ptychography enables quantitative three-dimensional imaging with nanometer-scale resolution, but its broader application is limited by long acquisition times - oft…
Elephants and Algorithms: A Review of the Current and Future Role of AI in Elephant Monitoring
Leandra Brickson, Fritz Vollrath, Alexander J. Titus
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) present revolutionary opportunities to enhance our understanding of animal behavior and conservation strategies. Using elepha…
Coiling of an elastic beam inside a disk: A model for spider-capture silk
Hervé Elettro, Fritz Vollrath, Sébastien Neukirch +1
Motivated by recent experimental observations of capillary-induced spooling of fibers inside droplets both in spider capture silk and in synthetic systems, we investigate the behav…
Drop-on-coilable-fibre systems exhibit negative stiffness events and transitions in coiling morphology
Hervé Elettro, Sébastien Neukirch, Fritz Vollrath +1
We investigate the mechanics of elastic fibres carrying liquid droplets. In such systems, buckling may localize inside the drop cavity if the fibre is thin enough. This so-called d…
In-drop capillary spooling of spider capture thread inspires hybrid fibers with mixed solid-liquid mechanical properties
Hervé Elettro, Sébastien Neukirch, Fritz Vollrath +1
An essential element in the web-trap architecture, the capture silk spun by ecribellate orb spiders consists of glue droplets sitting astride a silk filament. Mechanically this thr…
Spider Silk: The Mother Nature's Biological Superlens
James N Monks, Bing Yan, Zengbo Wang
This paper demonstrates a possible new microfiber bio near field lens that uses minor ampullate spider silk,spun from the Nephila edulis spider, to create a real time image of a su…
In-drop capillary spooling of spider capture thread inspires highly extensible fibres
Hervé Elettro, Sébastien Neukirch, Fritz Vollrath +1
Spiders' webs and gossamer threads are often paraded as paradigms for lightweight structures and outstanding polymers. Probably the most intriguing of all spider silks is the arane…
