Barnacle cyprids must locate a settlement site using finite lipid reserves acquired during earlier feeding stages. New research combines kinematic measurements with an unsteady hydrodynamic model to quantify the mechanical cost of swimming: doi.org/10.1098/rsif... #JRSocInterface #biomechanics

Bio-interfacial engineering of electrophoretic coacervate microcapsules for cytocompatible on-skin displays - a flexible electronic ink technology that could pave the way for safer and more comfortable wearable displays and biomedical devices: doi.org/10.1098/rsif... #JRSocInterface #biomaterials

This #JRSocInterface study shows how microscopic swimmers steer by adjusting their cilia, with insights for understanding algal navigation and designing bio-inspired robots. doi.org/10.1098/rsif... | #Biophysics #Miroswimmers #Cilia
