We have developed organic squishy magnets with radical polymer gels! These polymers open new opportunities for soft robotics, medical devices, and sustainable organic magnets. youtube.com/watch?v=NTAWzV…

This encryption system is based on responsive particle swarms. These particles offer programmable functions like dynamic displays, memory storage, Boolean logic, and encryption for soft, wearable tech. @abdon_pf @UMich @LahannLab 👉ow.ly/u4Vp50TpWrJ


In our new article @AdvSciNews , we designed swarm particle metamaterials for logic, memory, and encryption in squid-inspired displays. A great collaboration with @LahannLab ! @UMengineering @ummse @UMichChE #Squidtember Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… youtube.com/watch?v=MjL3k8…

NEW ARTICLE: “This screen stores and displays encrypted images without electronics.”It uses magnetic fields to display images at the same resolution as a squid’s color-changing bit.ly/3Zolufd image for story 🔽 bit.ly/4gktPGS

Did you know that squid have teeth in their suckers? Scientists don’t really understand how these teeth are made (since they are made of structural proteins, not mineralized hard tissues, like other creatures’ teeth) buff.ly/4e6HQpT #biology #wildlife #science

Thank you, Prof Samuel Sánchez @SamuelNanobots @IBECBarcelona, for bringing together the nano- and micromotors community and organizing the #IBECNanomotors International Conference. It has been a pleasure to be part of this major scientific event for the field's 20th anniversary.

Today we wrapped up the #IBECNanomotors International Conference! 🎉 🗣️ Over 150 attendees joined us for 3 days of cutting-edge discussions on the latest biomedical applications of #nanomotors. 👉 Read more: ibecbarcelona.eu/ibec-celebrate…
