Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Substituent‐Based Modulation of Self‐Assembly and Immunogenicity of Amphipathic Peptides
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study systematically investigates how positional and subtle changes, such as substituents on the phenyl ring attached to short amphipathic peptides, influence their self‐assembly, fibril morphology, and immunogenic responses. ABSTRACT Self‐assembled peptide‐based biomaterials provide versatile platforms for biomedical uses, featuring customizable ...

Clouds and plant ecophysiology: missing links for understanding climate change impacts
Frontiers in Forests and Global ChangeObservations and models indicate that human activity is altering cloud patterns on a global scale. Clouds impact incident visible and infrared radiation during both day and night, driving daily and seasonal variability in plant temperatures—a fundamental

Machine Learning-Based Deforestation Monitoring and Forecasting Using Sentinel-2 Imagery: A Case Study in Narra, Palawan [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesManual approaches to deforestation monitoring are time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Most existing systems rely on subjective interpretation or semi-automated tools, limiting repeatability and real-time assessment.
