3D Printed Graphene Piezoresistive Microelectromechanical System Sensors to Explain the Ultrasensitive Wake Tracking of Wavy Seal Whiskers

Xingwen Zheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a whisker-inspired sensor is developed to sense upstream wakes, mimicking the sensing mechanism of seal whiskers. Experimental investigations show that the sensor can successfully detect upstream wakes at a long distance, demonstrating high efficiency and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Bioinspired PDMS-graphene cantilever flow sensors using 3D printing and replica moulding

Amar M. Kamat et al.

Summary: The study introduces a method for fabricating high-aspect ratio (HAR) cantilever flow sensors inspired by nature, using 3D printing to create a master mould, replica moulding to produce PDMS cantilevers with microfluidic channels, and drop-casting graphene nanoplatelet ink for a piezoresistive strain gauge. These sensors demonstrate high sensitivity, low hysteresis, and good repeatability in airflow and water flow velocity testing, indicating their potential for biomimetic flow sensors and physical models.

Harbor seal whisker inspired self-powered piezoelectric sensor for detecting the underwater flow angle of attack and velocity

Xingxu Zhang et al.

Summary: Inspired by harbor seal whisker, a novel self-powered sensor is proposed for sensing water flow angle of attack and velocity. The sensor's high sensitivity in detecting water flow velocity is achieved through the pillar and piezoelectric diaphragm structure design.

Extreme flow simulations reveal skeletal adaptations of deep-sea sponges

Giacomo Falcucci et al.

Summary: The skeletal system of the deep-sea glass sponge Euplectella aspergillum exhibits exceptional flexibility and resilience to damage, with its motifs reducing overall hydrodynamic stress and supporting coherent internal recirculation patterns at low flow velocity. These features are beneficial for filter feeding and sexual reproduction in the organism.

Creating underwater vision through wavy whiskers: a review of the flow-sensing mechanisms and biomimetic potential of seal whiskers

Xingwen Zheng et al.

Summary: Seals use their highly sensitive whiskers to track prey with incredible precision, comparable to the echolocation system of dolphins and porpoises. The undulating structural morphology of the whisker suppresses vortex-induced vibrations, making them ultra-sensitive to the vortices in the wake of escaping prey. This impressive sensing capability has attracted attention in scientific fields such as sensory biology, fluid mechanics, biomimetic flow sensing, and soft robotics.
