Superhydrophobicity is a remarkable surface property found in nature and mimicked in
many engineering applications, including anti-wetting, anti-fogging, and anti-fouling …

Animal behaviour is often quantified through subjective, incomplete variables that mask
essential dynamics. Here, we develop a maximally predictive behavioural-state space from …

With a reconstructed and extensively characterized neural circuit, Caenorhabditis elegans is
a fascinating model system for the study of neural circuits and behavior. Here, we review the …

Highlights•Behavior arises from the interaction between neural activity, body and
environment.•C. elegans is an ideal organism for whole-animal modeling.•We discuss …

Measuring forces from the piconewton to millinewton range is of great importance for the
study of living systems from a biophysical perspective. The use of flexible micropipettes as …

This study encompasses the passive interdependence of body material (internal damping,
stiffness, and geometry) and environmental (frictional anisotropy and frictional coefficients) …

The Drosophila larva executes a stereotypical exploratory routine that appears to consist of
stochastic alternation between straight peristaltic crawling and reorientation events through …

One of the oldest yet most common modalities of locomotion known among limbless animals
is undulatory, also recognized for its stability compared to legged locomotion. Multiple forms …

Flagella and cilia are cellular appendages that inherit essential functions of microbial life
including sensing and navigating the environment. In order to propel a swimming …

Abstract Here we introduce PeakForce Tapping non-resonance atomic force microscopy for
imaging and nanomechanical mapping of Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes. The animals …
