Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

Nanocrystalline Cellulose from the Solitary Tunicate Phallusia Mammillata, a Valuable Nanocellulose Precursor

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of locally harvested Phallusia mammillata, a tunicate usually discarded as waste from mussles farming as a viable source for producing various high‐grade cellulose derivatives in the form of nanofibrils (NFC) and nanocrystals (CNC). Abstract Ascidians are ubiquitous filter‐feeding marine invertebrates, the only animals
