Abdicating power for control: a precision timing strategy to modulate function of flight power muscles by Sponberg, S., Daniel, T. L.

“…Muscles driving rhythmic locomotion typically show strong dependence of power on the timing or phase of activation. This is particularly true in insects' main…”

Rate-dependent frictional adhesion in natural and synthetic gecko setae by Gravish, Nick, Wilkinson, Matt, Sponberg, Simon, Parness, Aaron, Esparza, Noe, Soto, Daniel, Yamaguchi, Tetsuo, Broide, Michael, Cutkosky, Mark, Creton, Costantino, Autumn, Kellar

“…*. We hypothesized that, like natural gecko setae, but unlike any conventional adhesive, gecko-like synthetic adhesives (GSAs) could adhere while sliding. To…”
