Programmable‐Stiffness Tensegrity Continuum Robot for Adaptive Multicurvature On‐Orbit Assembly
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A bioinspired tensegrity‐based continuum robot (BTCR) with programmable stiffness enables adaptive multicurvature morphing via coordinated intra‐ and intermodule regulation. A unified energy‐based framework predicts self‐equilibrium and deformation for serial modules. Experiments and Simulations demonstrate reconfiguration into hexagonal, circular, and

Making Sense of Standardised Assessment Data: A Response to Snow et al. (2025)
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I write in response to the commentary by Snow et al. (2025) on the paper Are Australian students' academic skills declining? Interrogating 25 years of national and international standardised assessment data published in this journal (Larsen 2024).

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) combined with thermodynamic modeling provides the first direct characterization of radium speciation in synthetic gastrointestinal biofluids. Free Ra2+ ions predominate with minimal protein binding and negligible EDTA complexation. Crown ethers enable effective Ra complexation.

Study on the Fragmentation Characteristics and Dust Generation Mechanism of Coal Cutting by Pick
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During underground excavation, coal dust generation threatens miners' health and damages ecosystems. Its generation is directly influenced by cutting pick performance and inherent coal properties. This study investigates the effects of coal properties and cutting parameters on coal fragmentation characteristics from a mesoscopic perspective ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
