Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Patterns of extra-territorial activity in European badgers
When we first started to investigate the ranging behaviour of badgers, we expected to see movement patterns within territorial boundaries. We soon discovered that nothing is that simple.
Internet of Bodies (IoB)- Using CRISPR to electrically connect with and control the genome
Just like Internet of Things (IoT), IoB refers to access and control of human body via internet. Here, we detail how CRISPR can be used to electrically connect with the genome and as a proof of concept display control over transcriptional informational networks inside E. coli and Salmonella.
Fish-eye-inspired wide field-of-view camera
Inspired by the aquatic vision in nature, we have developed a novel miniaturized wide field-of-view imaging device by integrating a monocentric lens and a hemispherical silicon nanorod photodiode array.
