The characterization of reflectin protonic conductivity by Reyes, Jacob

“…Cephalopods, such as the Sepioteuthis lessioniana (S. lessionia), possess the remarkable defensive mechanism of camouflage, seemingly altering incoming light and changing the colour of its skin to its surrounding environment. Research has revealed that this ability stems from the cephalopod’s iridophores, and, more importantly, reflectin protein nanoparticles that alter the dimension and structure of the overall ensemble of said iridophores. …”

Enhancing prosthetic control through high-fidelity myoelectric mapping with molecular anchoring technology by Pan, Liang, Wang, Hui, Huang, Pingao, Wu, Xuwei, Tang, Zihan, Jiang, Ying, Ji, Shaobo, Cao, Jinwei, Ji, Baohua, Li, Guanglin, Li, Dechang, Wang, Zhiming, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Precise and agile control requires low-level myoelectric signals (below 10% of maximum voluntary contraction, MVC) from weak muscle contractions such as phantom finger or wrist movements, but imbalanced calcium concentration in atrophic skin can distort the signals. This is due to poor ionic-electronic coupling between skin and electrode, which often causes excessive muscle contraction, fatigue, and discomfort during delicate tasks. …”
