Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Revista de Biología Tropical, 1998 Se describe Mycetosoritis vinsoni de Loma Barbudal, Guanacaste Prov. de Costa Rica, con base en el obrera holotipo. Es similar a M. hartmanni, pero se puede diferenciar gracias a que los pelos de los escapos son curvos y oprimidos (derechos y erectos en ...

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With the increasing global energy demand and the growing prominence of environmental issues, biodiesel has garnered significant attention as a renewable, low‐emission green energy source. Conventional hydrotalcite‐based catalysts often suffer from insufficient basicity and limited accessibility of active sites, leading to relatively long ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thermal energy transport likely through polymer extrusion, cooling of metallic plates, and chemical processing equipment relating to the flow of viscoelastic nanofluid has a greater role in engineering because of its elastic characteristics.
