An Enhanced Soft‐Containing Gripper for Pick‐And‐Place of Oyster Products at Extreme Handling Speed

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soft robotic grippers have been developed for high‐speed handling of soft, fragile foods. For example, our previously designed soft‐containing gripper has been implemented on food production lines. However, existing soft robotic grippers remain inadequate for food pick‐and‐place tasks at extreme handling speeds (e.g., > 70 pcs/min).

Fusion Energy and Tritium Fuel Cycle: Hydrogen Isotope Separation Technologies and Sorbent Materials

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This review surveys sorbent‐based materials for hydrogen isotope separation, a key challenge in fusion fuel processing. Different types of adsorbents are compared in terms of selectivity, kinetics, and operational practicality. Limitations of cryogenic operation and tritium compatibility are highlighted, providing guidance toward efficient, low tritium

Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Multiscale Coupling of Phase Transition and Urban Flow in Two‐Phase Chlorine Dispersion in Street Canyons

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A multiscale CFD framework reveals that two‐phase effects fundamentally alter hazardous gas dispersion in urban street canyons. Droplet evaporation, vortex‐driven transport, and ventilation jointly control hazard evolution, with wind speed dominating dispersion while temperature plays a secondary role.

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

Prebiotic aqueous reactions catalyzed by native nickel without hydrogen

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Serpentinizing (H2‐producing) hydrothermal vents are candidate environments for metabolic origin. They generate highly reducing conditions that convert CO2 to formate and methane in abiotic reactions resembling reactions of the acetyl‐CoA pathway of CO2 fixation. They also contain natural catalysts. Native nickel (Ni0), like Fe0, Co0, and their alloys,

Hydrothermal origin of metabolic phosphorylation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Serpentinizing hydrothermal vents are candidate sites for biochemical origins. They generate extremely reducing conditions, depositing phosphite (HPO32−) and transition metals, including palladium, in the native (zero‐valent) state. Schlikker et al.

Post‐flight assessment of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule (SRC) for organic and other potential contaminants

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...
