3D‐Printed Shark‐Inspired Soft–Hard Hybrid Underwater Robot With Buoyancy Control and Onboard Vision
A fully self‐contained shark‐inspired underwater robot is developed using 3D‐printed soft–hard hybrid structures, servo‐driven propulsion, and pump‐based buoyancy control. The platform achieves three‐dimensional locomotion and onboard vision‐based target tracking, offering a reproducible and accessible framework for biomimetic underwater robot research.

Miniaturized Conductometric Biosensor for Rapid Detection of TNF‐α in Saliva
A miniaturized conductometric sensor detects TNF‐α at femtomolar levels with high selectivity. The device enables noninvasive testing using pooled human saliva and supports smartphone‐based, real‐time resistance readings. This portable biosensor offers a practical alternative for monitoring TNF‐α, providing new opportunities for diabetes and related ...

Fall and Spring Staging in a Refugia‐Dependent Migratory Snake
Animals reliant on seasonal refugia face strong fitness constraints imposed by the timing of migration relative to thermally unpredictable seasonal transitions. Using Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus), we show that prolonged fall and spring staging periods characterized by restricted movements near refugia and distinct thermal thresholds function

ABSTRACT Background In the presence of pain, performance during imposed workload motor tasks may be maintained at the cost of a higher perceived effort. This study investigated how experimentally induced contralateral thermal pain and naturally occurring muscle pain influence force production during a fixed perceived effort task.

Abstract Coral reef monitoring techniques are in high demand to support conservation efforts in marine ecosystems. Noninvasively measuring the spectral reflectance of corals provides rich information about their health status. However, the lack of large‐scale, high‐quality coral spectral datasets prevents the application of data‐driven spectral ...

Effects of Combined Training on Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Asthmatic Adolescents
ABSTRACT Objective Exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is defined as the acute narrowing of the lower respiratory airways after exercise. This study aimed to verify the behavior of cardiac autonomic modulation after combined training in asthmatic adolescents with and without EIB. Methods This is a clinical study in which 16 asthmatic adolescents

ABSTRACT Light‐activated gas sensors hold significant potential in environmental monitoring and smart Internet of Things (IoT) owing to their advantage in room temperature operation. Nevertheless, due to a narrow light absorption range, high photocarrier recombination rate, and weak redox activity of the sensing material, the performance enhancement of
