An Aerial–Aquatic Hitchhiking Robot with Remora‐Inspired Tactile Sensors and Thrust Vectoring Units
An untethered aerial–aquatic hitchhiking robot that can be remotely controlled for flying, swimming, and transiting air–water boundaries rapidly (0.16 s), is presented. Notably, it can autonomously attach to various surfaces in both air and water environments using a remora‐inspired suction disc with flexible tactile sensors.

Tutorial introduction to Virtual Reality: What possibility are offered to our field? [PDF]
The virtual reality (VR) provides us a three-dimensional, immersive, and fully interactive visualization environment. To make the best use of the VR's potential in scientific visualization, a VR visualization software named VFIVE has been developed for the CAVE-type VR system. VFIVE enables simulation researchers to analyze three-dimensional scalar and

From Ancient Techniques to Modern Solutions: In Situ Synthesis of C‐S‐H for Sandstone Conservation
Herein, this work presents a paleo‐inspired approach to synthesizing and optimizing C‐S‐H‐based grouting mortars for conserving the sandstone of Beishan Grottoes, Dazu Rock Carvings, China. By achieving an optimal recipe compatible with natural sandstone, this work demonstrates the pivotal role of hydrogen bonding in the adhesion between C‐S‐H mortars ...

Hypersensitivity to perturbation: An information-theoretical characterization of classical and quantum chaos [PDF]
Hypersensitivity to perturbation is a criterion for chaos based on the question of how much information about a perturbing environment is needed to keep the entropy of a Hamiltonian system from increasing. In this paper we give a brief overview of our work on hypersensitivity to perturbation in classical and quantum systems.

A new strategy of “confined eutectic” is proposed to achieve fluorochromic materials that can readout refrigeration temperature with naked‐eye. It leverages changes in the crystallinity of the confined eutectics in nano/micro‐domains to regulate the aggregation and dispersion states of fluorophores.

γGC deficiency in ulcerative colitis drives macrophage ferroptosis‐mediated inflammation. Claw‐engaged microparticles armed with γGC (γGC‐MPs) enhance lesion targeting, promoting localized γGC release and tissue uptake. On the cover, Monkey King (Macrophages) was bound by the Immortal‐Binding Rope and subsequently sealed beneath the Five‐Fingered ...
