Distributed Micropneumatic Sensors for Soft Robots to Detect Touch and Pose

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robots need integrated touch and pose sensing for safe and reliable operation. This work presents a three‐fingered soft gripper with 18 micropneumatic sensors made from the same materials as its pneumatic actuators. By measuring airflow resistance changes in deforming microchannels of the sensors, finger pose and contact are detected, enabling ...

Coixenolide Enhances Antitumor Immunity of Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cells by Inhibiting S100A8/A9‐CD36 Axis in Obesity‐Associated Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remains highly lethal with limited treatment options. This study demonstrates that coixenolide, a bioactive compound from Coix lacryma‐jobi L. and a key component of the clinically approved Kanglaite injection, exhibits enhanced antitumor efficacy in high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obese mice bearing PAAD tumors compared to

Integrating Ecology and Economics in Agent‐Based Models to Support Agricultural Policy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Agent‐based models are valuable tools for studying social‐ecological systems in agriculture. This review maps how existing agent‐based models represent the human and natural domains of agriculture, and discusses developments in economic and ecological agent‐based modeling.

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Identifying Abnormal Returns to Food and Agribusiness Stocks on Key Farm Policy Legislative Dates [PDF]

The efficient market hypothesis would suggest that stock prices incorporate the information revealed in the public process of creating legislation as the debate occurred. Thus, there should be no abnormal returns to agribusiness stocks on key legislative

Targeted Restoration of the Microbial Tryptophan Oxidative Pathway Ameliorates Autism‐Like Behavioral and Synaptic Deficits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, yet the contribution of specific microbial metabolic pathways remains unclear. Reanalysis of a public ASD cohort revealed reduced functional potential in microbial tryptophan oxidative metabolism.
