Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

Comments on comet shapes and aggregation processes [PDF]
, 1989 An important question for a comet mission is whether comet nuclei preserve information clarifying aggregation processes of planetary matter. New observational evidence shows that Trojan asteroids, as a group, display a higher fraction of highly-elongated

Galectin‐4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Galectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.

Investigation of Split Comet 240P/NEAT
The Astronomical JournalWe present time-series observations of the split comet 240P/NEAT near perihelion, obtained using the Nordic Optical Telescope. The brighter component, 240P-A, has an estimated radius in the range 400–600 m, and loses dust at the peak rate 130 kg s ^−1 ...

Dust and gas emission from cometary nuclei: the case of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
Advances in Physics: X, 2018 Comets display with decreasing solar distance an increased emission of gas and dust particles, leading to the formation of the coma and tail. Spacecraft missions provide insight into the temporal and spatial variations of the dust and gas sources located

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Cold plasma (CP), a nonthermal ionised gas rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), has emerged as a sustainable technology for enhancing legume production and quality. This review summarises current advances in CP applications in legumes, focusing on seed germination, seedling vigour, nutrient enhancement, antinutrient reduction ...
