An Injection‐Molded Modified Silicone Rubber for Cancer‐on‐Chip Applications
This study describes the characterization and application of an injection‐molded functionalized PDMS fluidic insert for the commercially available Micronit system. Modified PDMS can accommodate cell culture and is able to covalently bind proteins for long‐lasting coatings under flow‐conditions.

Validation of artificial defects for Non-destructive testing measurements on a reference structure
Non-destructive testing was established over the last decades as an important tool for assessing damages, material characterization and quality assurance in civil engineering. For example, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can be used to scan large areas of

Prediction of abundance of ants according to climate change scenarios RCP 4.5 and 8.5 in South Korea
In order to identify change of ant distribution expected due to climate change in South Korea, data on ants collected from 344 forest sites were used to predict change of abundance of ant species.

Worker Queens? Behavioral Flexibility of Queens in the Little Fire Ant Wasmannia auropunctata
Many species of social Hymenoptera demonstrate behavioral flexibility, where older workers that typically forage can revert to younger worker tasks, such as nursing, when these are absent. This flexibility is typical of the sterile worker class, yet rare

Advanced Design for Weakly Coupled Resonators by Automatic Active Optimization
An Automatic Active Optimization (AAO) strategy integrates machine learning predictors and genetic algorithms in a closed‐loop workflow. By iteratively expanding its dataset with new discoveries, AAO overcomes the limits of conventional methods. This approach finds superior microstructural designs beyond the initial sample space. We demonstrate this on

Development of High‐Performance Multilayer Monochromators
Detailed insights into the optical and multilayer design of Double Multilayer Monochromators (DMM) are presented and fully characterized, including key optimization strategies and solutions to fabrication challenges. By integrating in‐house Ion Beam Figuring and a high uniformity multilayer coating process, the developed DMMs achieve high reflectivity,

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Deep learning-enabled hybrid systems for accurate recognition of text in seal images
Chinese seals are widely used in various fields within Chinese society as a tool for certifying legal documents. However, recognizing text on these seals presents challenges due to background text, high noise levels, and minimalistic image features. This
