We propose a novel concept for modular robots, termed fluidic propulsion (MFP), which promises to combine effective propulsion, large reconfiguration space, and scalable design. MFP robots are fluid networks. To propel, they route through themselves. In this article, both hydraulic pneumatic implementations considered. The move towards goal by way of decentralized controller that runs independe...

Fluidic automation, the practice of programmatically manipulating small fluids to execute laboratory protocols, has led vastly increased productivity for biologists and chemists. Most fluidic programs, commonly referred as are written using APIs that couple protocol specific hardware by referring physical locations on device. This coupling makes isolation impossible, preventing portability, con...

Highly fluorescent non-volatile fluidic fluorene derivatives functionalized with siloxane chains were synthesized and used in monolithic solvent-free liquid organic semiconductor distributed feedback lasers. The photoluminescence quantum yield values, the amplified spontaneous emission thresholds and the ambipolar charge carrier mobilities demonstrate that this class of materials is extremely p...

The formation of a nanoscale anodic silicon oxide layer on silicon electrodes in an aqueous environment leads to fluidic-based ionic memristive devices and ionic latches for large integrated fluidic ion logic circuitry, which can enable massively multiplexed smart biosensor arrays and complex active chemical circuits.

Bagherzadeh A., Paymard P. (2015): Assessment of land capability for different irrigation systems by parametric and fuzzy approaches in the Mashhad Plain, northeast Iran. Soil & Water Res., 10: 90–98. Water quality and quantity in agricultural systems of arid and semiarid regions of the world are of great importance. In this regard the trend to pressurized irrigation systems compared to surface...

A novel, integrated micromechanical actuator based on the principle of undulatory fish locomotion and intended for efficient on-chip cooling or venting applications is conceived and designed for an aluminum nitride-based thin-film technology applying coupled piezoelectric, mechanical, and fluidic analyses. The results of the investigations prove that an undulatory motion of the fin-like micro-f...

Two cases of orbital injuries caused by the jet of water from an irrigation sprinkler are described; they were of a type not previously reported. The jet of water, possessing high kinetic energy, stretched the orbital tissues and resulted in a rupture which followed the anatomical seams. Thus there was no bleeding, but oedema was present. The eyeball was also injured.

Self-Driving Fluidic Micro-Processors In article number 2200017, Milad Abolhasani and co-workers present a self-driving lab using artificial intelligence-guided fluidic blocks for accelerated fundamental applied studies of emerging clean energy materials. Autonomous doping metal halide perovskite quantum dots is demonstrated as material testbed this lab.
