Benchmarking Data‐Driven Control of Octopus‐Inspired Soft Arms in Underwater Environment

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Underwater soft robots present safe, compliant interaction, yet reproducible control remains scarce. This work presents an open benchmark for octopus‐inspired arms: a smooth, velocity‐diverse data‐collection scheme produces a compact dataset to train a vanilla policy.

Automated Production of 3D Printed Сoncrete Structures with Integrated Reinforcement Mesh Based on Standard Reinforcement Bars

Engineered Science
3D concrete printing is developing rapidly and is seen as an alternative to traditional construction methods. But today, the use of standard steel reinforcements and their integration into the concrete is very relevant for 3D concrete printing.

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

The dead still teach the living: Body donor dissection in the digital age of anatomy education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Donor‐based dissection has become increasingly contested in modern medical curricula as digital anatomy platforms, simulation technologies, virtual dissection tables, three‐dimensional reconstructions, and artificial intelligence‐supported learning have expanded.

Guidelines for designing and implementing game‐based learning in comparative anatomy education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Game‐based learning (GBL) is increasingly used in health professions anatomy education to promote engagement, knowledge acquisition, collaboration, and application of knowledge. However, its application to comparative veterinary anatomy remains fragmented, with limited guidance on how games can be systematically designed around the specific ...

Biochar-augmented climate-positive 3D printable concrete

Communications Materials
Three-dimensional (3D) concrete printing is a revolutionary technology in the construction industry. Here we show that climate-positive biochar is a carbon-negative additive for decreasing the carbon footprint of 3D printable concrete, while enhancing ...

Scale‐Down Platforms for Process‐Oriented Enzyme Screening Using Microfluidics

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enzyme screening platforms are typically evaluated based on their throughput and analytical performance rather than their ability to mimic the conditions encountered at large scale. In bioreactors, enzymes experience gradients in substrate concentration, oxygen availability, pH, temperature, and interfacial exposure, caused by imperfect mixing

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...
