An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Piezo‐Coupling Effects in Smart Polymers: Toward Ultrasensitive Sensing and Biomedical Applications
Piezo‐coupling effects are the foundational factors for the development of multifunctional and self‐powered platforms. Central to this advancement is the use of stimuli‐responsive smart polymers, which offer mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, and simplified structural complexity with improved sensitivity and energy efficiency.

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...
