Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

Coral‐Biomimetic Structured Organic Electro‐Oxidations With Exceptional High‐Current Catalytic Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A strategy for energy‐efficient hydrogen production coupled with biomass valorization via organic electrooxidation reactions is reported. A bio‐inspired multiscale coral‐like heterostructure catalyst delivers record‐breaking OEOR performance enabled by a dual‐copper synergistic Cu+/Cu2+–Ni mechanism, establishing a universal architectural and ...

Feeding Habits of Acanthaster spp., as Indicated by the Carbon Stable Isotope Values of Food in Their Gastric Contents and Pyloric Gut

Redai dili
The periodic outbreaks of Acanthaster spp. which are predators of coral, are important reasons for the degradation of coral reefs. Information on the food sources of Acanthaster spp. Would be useful for suppressing outbreaks of the species.

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.

Distinct Bacterial Communities Associated with Massive and Branching Scleractinian Corals and Potential Linkages to Coral Susceptibility to Thermal or Cold Stress

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
It is well known that different coral species have different tolerances to thermal or cold stress, which is presumed to be related to the density of Symbiodinium. However, the intrinsic factors between stress-tolerant characteristics and coral-associated
