Design and Characterization of a Dual‐Mode Soft Robotic Flapping Propeller With Pneumatic Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Diagnosing the system: Mental health, necropolitical uncare, and the abolition of migration detention

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

Bis(2‐Adamantyl)Magnesium: Synthesis, Structure, and Applications of a Versatile and Shelf‐Stable 2‐Adamantyl Anion Equivalent

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
At last, the long‐sought bis(2‐adamantyl)magnesium reagent has been prepared in high yield as a stable tetrahydrofuran/dioxane adduct and fully characterized by x‐ray crystallography. This potent nucleophile outperforms the corresponding Grignard in transmetallation and carbonyl addition reactions, opening new avenues in adamantyl organometallic and ...

Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.
