Electricity, the interaction between electrically charged objects, is widely known to be
fundamental to the functioning of living systems. However, this appreciation has largely …

Osmotic power, also known as “blue energy”, is a vast, sustainable, and clean energy
source that can be directly converted into electricity by nanofluidic membranes. However …

The electric eel is known as the most powerful creature to generate electricity with a
discharge voltage up to 860 V and peak current up to 1 A. These surprising properties are …

Nanofluidic membranes have shown great promise in harvesting osmotic power. Yet,
previous studies extensively focused on osmotic energy released by the mixing of seawater …

A voucher is a permanently preserved specimen that is maintained in an accessible
collection. In genomics, vouchers serve as the physical evidence for the taxonomic …

Ichthyological surveys have traditionally been conducted using whole-specimen, capture-
based sampling with varied but conventional fishing gear. Recently, environmental DNA …

Even though the bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) have been extensively
investigated during the past several decades, our understandings of the bioeffects of EMR …

Electric eels in nature can generate high voltage with hundreds of volts based on the
mechanism of gradient-induced ion flux, which provides an excellent prototype to inspire the …

Cetaceans use objects and interact with conspecifics for play and socializing, often
exhibiting complex behaviors that we do not understand. A few seconds of activity on the …

Harvesting salinity gradient energy, also known as “osmotic energy” or “blue energy”,
generated from the free energy mixing of seawater and fresh river water provides a …
