Autonomous Artificial Molecular Motors and Pumps

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2025.
Autonomous energy consumption is the only way to introduce molecular motors into more sophisticated, larger systems, capable of life‐like behavior. We reviewed a selection of the most recent advances in the field molecular motors focusing on those capable of performing continuous and autonomous motion under constant experimental conditions, that is ...

A precision six-meter deployable boom for the Mariner-Venus-Mercury 1973 magnetometer experiment [PDF]

, 1975
A unique deployable boom developed for accurately positioning magnetometers 6 meters (19.7 feet) from a spacecraft is described. Weight, mounting system, magnetic cleanliness, thermal dimensional stability, and natural frequency were critical constraints

Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 8, Page 1299-1307, August 2025.
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 16, Page 4593-4608, 15 August 2025.
Abstract figure legend A single hair was carefully deflected using forceps during microneurography, which facilitates direct recording of single nerve fibre responses in awake participants. Recordings from 15 consecutive C‐tactile (CT) afferents, where the response to hair deflection was investigated, showed that individual CT afferents respond to ...

A deployment mechanism for the double roll-out flexible solar array on the space telescope [PDF]

, 1982
A roll-out flexible array which provides more than 4 kW of power for the space telescope was developed. The Array is configured as two wings. The deployment mechanism for each wing is based on flight-proven FRUSA design.

DuckyDog: An Erect Amphibious Robot with Variable‐Stiffness Legs and Passive Fins

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
DuckyDog, a quadruped amphibious robot using erect posture, is proposed with dog‐inspired tendon‐driven compliant legs for walking and paddling, a duck‐inspired body for buoyancy, and passive fins to increase propulsion. It achieves maximum speeds of 0.4 body lengths per second on land and 0.3 on water, demonstrating the ability to navigate in complex ...

No thanks: How an ideology of sharing, not reciprocating, ensures abundance in the forests of south‐eastern Cameroon

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1041-1055, May 2025.
Abstract Reciprocity and relationality are themes which frequently emerge with respect to human–nature associations in Indigenous groups around the world. But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown to reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other and their environment through egalitarian social structures.

Achieving coexistence with the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) in northeastern India: The provision of practical co‐benefits to communities is critical to achieving long‐term outreach impact

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2025.
Conservation measures like educational awareness and livelihood development schemes are common practice among wildlife conservationists. However, long‐term impact of such interventions are rarely assessed. Through our study (Six years), we observed a >20% increase (p < 0.05) in support for sun bears among respondents lacking a formal education and ...

Beyond a logic of choice: the role of family narratives in ethical, person‐centred support for individuals with intellectual disabilities Au‐delà de la logique du choix: le rôle des récits familiaux dans le soutien éthique et axé sur la personne des sujets porteurs de handicaps mentaux

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 264-282, March 2025.
This article demonstrates the important role family narratives can play in providing ethical, person‐centred support for people with severe intellectual disabilities living in supported accommodation. Focusing on the story of Daniel, a 65‐year‐old man residing in a group home in Australia, I illustrate, through the lens of his mother Arleen, how family
