Cooperative sensors are an emerging technology consisting of autonomous sensor units working in concert to measure physiological signals requiring distant sensing points, such as biopotential (e.g., ECG) or bioimpedance (e.g., EIT). Their advantage with respect to the state-of-the-art technology is that they do not require shielded and even insulated cables to measure best quality biopotential or bioimpedance signals. Moreover, as all sensors are simply connected to a single electrical connection (which can be for instance a conductive vest) there is no connecting limitation to the miniaturization of the system or to its extension to large numbers of sensors. This results in an increase of wearability and comfort, as well as in a decrease of costs and integration challenges. However, cooperative sensors must communicate to be synchronized and to centralize the data. This paper presents possible communication strategies and focuses on the implementation of one of them that is particularly well suited for biopotential and bioimpedance measurements.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with various deformation properties based on phase transition were widely used as actuators and provided potential to fabricate functional surfaces with tunable microstructure. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to fabricate dynamic micro wrinkles on LCE surfaces based on LC phase transition. Stable micron-sized surface wrinkles on the anthracene-containing LCE film (AnLCE) are fabricated by ultraviolet exposure induced gradient cross-linking and subsequently stretching-releasing (UV-SR).

The direct discharge of cationic surfactants into environmental matrices has exponentially increased due to their wide application in many products. These compounds and their degraded products disrupt microbial dynamics, hinder plant survival, and affect human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop electroanalytical assessment techniques for their identification, determination, and monitoring.

The synthesis of multi-wavelength emission fluorescent metal-organic framework sensors has received widespread attention in recent years. Under solvothermal conditions, a series of triple-emission fluorescent sensors were fabricated by in situ encapsulation of red emitting Eosin Y and green emitting 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) into a blue emitting naphthalene-based Zr-MOF. By combining the dye quantity regulation and the resonance energy transfer between MOFs and dyes, the single-phase EY&BPEA@Zr-MOFs exhibited tunable triple-emission fluorescence.

Neural networks have significant advantages in the estimation of uncertainty dynamics, which can afford highly accurate prediction outcomes and enhance control robustness. With this in mind, this study presents a neural network-based method to investigate the uncertain target enclosing control problem for multi-agent systems over signed networks. Firstly, a nominal target enclosing controller is constructed by adding the target information component into the classical bipartite consensus error, in which the multi-agent system can be grouped to enclose the target from opposite sides.
