Soft Origami Optical-Sensing Actuator for Underwater Manipulation

Soft robots are ideal for underwater manipulation in sampling and other servicing applications.Their unique features of compliance, adaptability, and being naturally waterproof enable robotic designs to be compact and lightweight, while achieving uncompromized dexterity and flexibility.However, the inherent flexibility and high nonlinearity of soft

Multiple poliovirus-induced organelles suggested by comparison of spatiotemporal dynamics of membranous structures and phosphoinositides.

At the culmination of poliovirus (PV) multiplication, membranes are observed that contain phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) and appear as vesicular clusters in cross section.Induction and remodeling of PI4P and membranes prior to or concurrent with genome replication has not been well studied.Here, we exploit two PV mutants, termed EG and GG,
