This article illustrates how open hardware solutions are implemented by researchers as a strategy to access technology for cutting-edge research. Specifically, it is discussed what kind of open technologies are most enabling in scientific environments characterized by economic and infrastructural constraints. It is…

Bivalve molluscs have been the focus of behavioral and physiological studies for over a century, due in part to the relative ease with which their traits can be observed. The author reviews historical methods for monitoring behavior and physiology in bivalves, and how modern methods with electronic sensors can allow…

CMOS Authors: ['Paul Scheffler' 'Philippe Sauter' 'Thomas Benz' 'Frank K. Gürkaynak' 'Luca Benini'] Abstract—Open-source hardware (OSHW) is rapidly gaining traction in academia and industry. The availability of open RTL descriptions, EDA tools, and even PDKs enables a fully auditable supply chain for end-to-end (RTL to…

A great deal of understanding can be gleaned from direct observation of organismal growth, development, and behavior. However, direct observation can be time consuming and influence the organism through unintentional stimuli. Additionally, video capturing equipment can often be prohibitively expensive, difficult to…

Though open source data acquisition (DAQ) systems have been published, closed source proprietary systems are the standard despite often being prohibitively expensive. High costs, however, limit access to high-quality DAQ in low-resource settings. In many cases the functions executed by the closed source and proprietary…

'Frank K. Gürkaynak' 'Luca Benini'] Abstract—End-to-end open-source electronic design automation (OSEDA) enables a collaborative approach to chip design conducive to supply chain diversification and zero-trust step-by-step design verification. However, existing end-to-end OSEDA flows have mostly been demonstrated on…

To improve access to advanced optical microscopy in educational and resource-limited settings we have developed the eduWOSM (Educational Warwick Open Source Microscope), an open hardware platform for transmitted-light and epifluorescence imaging in up to 4 colours, including single molecule imaging. EduWOSMs are…

Open Educational Resources (OER), freely accessible learning, teaching and research materials, have been proposed as key enabling tools to achieve inclusive knowledge societies and equitable access to education. Here, we describe novel OER consisting of low cost and locally produced public domain biological reagents…

Low-cost and open-source neural recording systems are increasingly important for expanding access to electrophysiological research. However, many existing platforms still rely on specialized hardware or limited modularity, restricting flexibility for laboratories seeking customizable solutions. Here, we developed and…

Modern microscopy relies increasingly on microscope automation to improve throughput, ensure reproducibility or observe rare events. Automation requires in particular computer control of the important elements of the microscope. Furthermore, optical elements that are usually fixed or manually movable can be placed on…

'Yan Shvartzshnaider'] Centralization in code hosting and package management in the 2010s created fundamental shifts in the social arrangements of open source ecosystems. In a regime of centralized open source, platform effects can both empower and detract from communities depending on underlying technical…
