A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Heat Transfer Fluids as Co‐Diluents in Localized High‐Concentration Electrolytes for High‐Rate Lithium Metal Batteries With Enhanced Safety

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Two fluorinated ethers, commonly used as heat‐transfer fluids, are explored as co‐diluents in localized high‐concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) for lithium metal‐based batteries. The best‐performing ternary diluent blend boosts ion mobility and cuts overvoltages, thereby improving Coulombic efficiency and cycle life at ≥1 mA cm−2 in zero‐excess pouch ...

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.
