Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Memristive‐Gated RC‐Delay Synaptic Transistors for Time‐Encoded Analog in‐Memory Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Memristive‐Gated Transistor for Time‐Encoded Analog In‐Memory Computing — By exploiting the RC delay of a self‐rectifying interface‐type memristor, nonlinear I–V distortion is structurally bypassed, enabling 3‐bit nonvolatile memory, spike‐timing‐based analog encoding, and hardware‐calibrated reservoir‐computing validation within a unified device ...

Analysis of the global spatiotemporal characteristics of ionospheric noontime bite-outs

Satellite Navigation
This study utilizes global ionospheric map data with high spatiotemporal resolution to analyze the phenomenon of noontime bite-outs in 2014 (a year of high solar activity) and 2020 (a year of low solar activity). By statistically examining the occurrence

Symmetrical Peripheral Gangrene Post Snake-Bite: An Unusual Presentation [PDF]

, 2017
Snake bite in India is a common yet neglected public health issue, with an estimated death rate of 50,000 per year. Symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) has varied aetiology, but it is an unusual complication after snake bites.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,
