Abstract

It tastes like coconut that's lost most of its moisture" The researchers collected the bacterial cellulose, then air-dried it and dipped it in sodium alginate, a carbohydrate found in algae, to fill the pores in the cellulose that would otherwise absorb water. Sodium alginate also has the benefit of sticking to itself, so the researchers could simply roll the sheets of cellulose up into straws, with no glue required (Advanced Functional Materials, doi.org/gnz7q7). WHEN it comes to drinking with a straw, there is no perfect option - plastic straws can release microplastics, while paper straws buckle and bend when they get wet. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Robotic automation is proving itself indispensable in the modern Chemistry laboratory, but adoption is slowed down by the technical challenges of implementing such systems. This paper reports on a novel adaptive gripper mechanism that can easily and reliably grasp cylindrical and prismatic objects of various sizes with limited clearance required. The proposed design exploits the inherent compliance of a cable that is driven to fully envelope the target object. The cable is run through a rigid finger, allowing the loop to be placed around objects with minimal clearance required and to provide support for the object once the grip is complete. Thanks to the compliant nature of the mechanism, the gripper requires minimal control effort to complete a gasping task. A prototype of the gripper has been designed and built for chemistry automation tasks, where it showed very high grasp reliability with ≤ 1 % grasp failures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
