Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Hungry for Knowledge: Octopamine Signaling Regulates Hunger‐Enhanced Olfactory Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers demonstrate that hunger state facilitates both aversive and appetitive olfactory learning. Two distinct octopamine signaling pathways are involved in aversive or appetitive memory formation in the hunger state. And, hunger state also facilitates the formation of both types of memories via an evolutionarily conserved norepinephrine (the ...

Facile Access to Salt‐Resistant Polyzwitterionic Hydrogel Evaporator via In Situ Frontal Curing‐3D Printing Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyzwitterionic hydrogel evaporator is developed by a facile in situ curing 3D printing strategy. It shows higher intermediate water/free water ratio in high‐salinity brine, leading to increased amount of activated water and lower evaporation enthalpy, which exhibits high evaporation efficiency and satisfactory salt tolerance.
