Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Initial temperature influence on the powder speed combustion in the high pressure range
Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 1997 The initial temperature influence on the ballistics characteristics of powder is considered as well as the parameters of gas dynamics calculations. Analytical methods for thermal chemical and interior ballistics calculations are used.

Preventing wall deposition in duct flows: The role of particle number density and flow direction
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Particle deposition in wall‐bounded turbulent flows is a challenge in many industries, including pneumatic conveying, filtration, and related applications. When particles accumulate near boundaries, they reduce transport efficiency, alter near‐wall flow structures, and cause blockage.

Overcoming spectral limits of perovskite photodetectors for the infrared region
InfoScience, EarlyView.Infrared (IR) photodetectors are vital for modern optoelectronics, but traditional inorganic semiconductors face limitations in cost, processing, and bandgap tunability. This review provides a summary of advanced strategies to extend metal halide perovskites into the IR region, categorizing approaches into intrinsic material engineering, physical ...

Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.
