Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The integration and exploitation of biological components onto micronanorobots and modern engineered microsystems such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), lab-on-a-chip, or Micro-Total-Analysis Systems (μTAS) offer new possibilities. In particular, the flagellar motor found in many bacteria is a compact and extremely effective biological micro-actuator that is presently impossible to match with modern engineering techniques while requiring no electrical power to operate, a significant advantage especially in the conception of untethered microsystems. Previously, because chemotaxis-based bacteria such as E. Coli have been used for the exploitation of the flagellar motor, the number of possible applications have been very limited due to the absence of an effective method to control the motion of the bacteria. Controlling the direction of propulsion of the flagellar motor with computer software is demonstrated by exploiting magnetotaxis inherent in Magnetotactic Bacteria (MTB). The possibilities and advantages of this method are shown through a simple experiment where the controlled manipulation of microbeads is performed by MTB.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
