Bioinspired surface structures for added shear stabilization in suction discs by Alyssa M. Hernandez, Jessica A. Sandoval, Michelle C. Yuen, Robert J. Wood

“…However, the design that withstood the highest shear load featured an intermediate pad size and channel spacing, potentially highlighting a balance between overall surface area and fluid channeling. Additionally, discs with surface patterns often outperformed the control discs (no pattern) on both smooth and rough surfaces, but performance was highly dependent on preload, with patterned discs exhibiting benefits with the higher “friction-dominant” preloads.…”

“…Here, a modifying layer of polythiophene (P3HT) was incorporated onto the TCP thin film to enhance the resistive switching (RS) characteristics of the synaptic device, which exhibits excellent stability (103 endurance cycles and > 103 s retention time) and low energy consumption (~ 6.3 pJ for electrical stimulus and ~ 6 pJ for optical stimulus). Additionally, the synaptic properties of the perovskite / P3HT heterojunction synaptic device were explored under optoelectric coordinated modulation, encompassing Long-Term Potentiation (LTP), Long-Term Depression (LTD), frequency-dependent plasticity (SRDP) and voltage-dependent plasticity (SVDP). …”
