A Multifunctional Ionograsper Enabling Ion‐Redistribution Proximity Sensing and Structural‐Reconfiguration‐Driven Bidirectional Actuation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A solid‐state ionic actuator integrates sensing, actuation, and memory within one material. A brief UV pulse induces long‐lasting deformation via coupled network rearrangement, dehydration, and rehydration, while ionic redistribution enables self‐powered sensing, supporting multifunctional, energy‐efficient soft robotic functions without continuous ...

Beyond Probiotics: Postbiotics for Healthy Aquaculture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This critical review assesses limitations of probiotics and proposes postbiotics, preparations of inanimate microorganisms and their metabolites, as a more stable, controlled, and biosafe formulation. Postbiotics offer significant advantages during industrial aquafeed production and storage. However, their practical implementation is currently hindered

Carnivorous plants: unveiling trophic identity and advanced nitrogen acquisition strategies

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Carnivorous and parasitic plants have captured attention not only for public but also for researchers for centuries. Instead of absorbing inorganic nitrogen from soils, they can obtain some or most of their nutrients from heterotrophic organisms.
