Flexible Pressure Sensor With Co‐Optimized Sensitivity and Linearity Based on Gradient Toroidal Microstructures

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor with gradient toroidal CNT/PDMS microstructures is reported. The hierarchical geometry enables sequential electrode contact, achieving a sensitivity of 256.20 kPa−1 and linear response (R2 = 0.99) over 0–1000 kPa.

Cross-pollination Improves Fruit Quantity and Quality Across Northern and Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivars

HortScience
Cultivated blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) are partially self-sterile because of early-acting inbreeding depression and, as such, they may set fruit with self-pollination, but with a lower quantity and quality than that with cross-pollination.

Pollinator probing preference and switching mode-mediated self-interference within a monoecious plant significantly reduced reproductive fitness

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionMonoecy is usually interpreted as an important evolutionary route of the plant sexual system from hermaphroditism to dioecy. This floral mechanism can effectively reduce self-interference during the reproductive process, and the services ...

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Pollen limitation and dependence on cross-pollination in borage (Borago officinalis L.) in the Pampas region of Argentina

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Borago officinalis L. is an insect-pollinated crop valued for its seed oil. While described as self-compatible, the extent to which its reproductive success depends on pollinator-mediated cross-pollination and whether it experiences pollen limitation in

Pollination Strategies to Improve Fruit Set in Orchards of ‘Manzanilloʼ Olive in a Nontraditional Producing Country, Mexico

HortTechnology, 2019
In countries new to producing ‘Manzanillo’ olive trees (Olea europaea), free cross-pollination is often insufficient to obtain high levels of fruit set. An appropriate pollination design is therefore essential to ensure a timely, abundant, and compatible
