Bioadhesive interface for marine sensors on diverse soft fragile species
they demonstrate they can attach sensors to things like squid and jellyfish.
"Here, we report a bioadhesive interface for marine sensors (BIMS) to achieve rapid non-invasive integration (Fig. 1b) on soft fragile marine species including mollusca (squid, Doryteuthis pealeii) and cnidaria (jellyfish, Aurelia aurita). The BIMS contains a thin layer of a dried-hydrogel adhesive interface that can absorb the seawater from the surface of marine species by hydration and swelling, subsequently adhering to sensors on diverse marine species within 22 s. After adhering to the surface of marine species, the adhesive interface of the BIMS becomes a soft yet robust hydrogel. Owing to its fast non-invasive integration and matched mechanical properties with marine species, the BIMS does not disturb normal animal behaviors upon release and enables a wide suite of eco-physiological measurements and comparisons of the animals."
I'm sold, I'll take two tubes, please.
