Sustainable Development Goal 2 (zero hunger) requires prohibition of nuclear weapons
, 2023 A nuclear war between the United States and Russia could produce a nuclear winter, with catastrophic consequences for global food supplies. Smoke from fires ignited by nuclear weapons exploded on cities and industrial targets would block out sunlight, causing dark, cold, and dry surface conditions, with surface temperatures below freezing even in

Embodying Control in Soft Multistable Robots from Morphofunctional Co‐design
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A framework is introduced for co‐designing the morphology and planned tasks of soft robots by embodying specific reconfiguration modes and dynamics upon actuation, leveraging an efficient energy‐based analytical model and optimization. Desired kinematics are co‐designed with optimized stiffnesses and time responses to obtain robots capable of ...

Aberrant Mitochondrial Metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease Links Energy Stress with Ferroptosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Alves et al. reveal how energy loss and oxidative stress, two major features of Alzheimer's disease, are connected. Mitochondria controls the flux of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH), via facilitating both its production and consumption. Energy restriction limits GSH synthesis, conferring vulnerability to cell death by ferroptosis, implicated as a ...
