A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D

Metformin enhances external urethral sphincter integrity and restores continence via AMPK activation in a rat model of stress urinary incontinence

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The pathogenesis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is intimately associated with injury to the external urethral sphincter (EUS). In this study, we established an SUI model induced by double vaginal distension and demonstrated that metformin treatment activated the AMPK signaling in the EUS tissue.

Tensile Stimulation in Biorelevant Culture Conditions Enhances MSC and TPSC Tenogenesis on Aligned Electrospun Scaffolds

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Biomimetic electrospun scaffold incorporating GDF‐7‐loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles, combined with mechanical stimulation and physiological oxygen tension, guides tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cell and tendon progenitor stem cell. This integrated approach enhances cell proliferation, matrix deposition, and tendon‐specific gene

Design and Optimization of a Novel Kalina‐Organic Rankine Cycle System Based on LNG Cold Energy Utilization

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel integrated system (SDKC‐DORC) that combines a split‐flow dual‐pressure Kalina cycle with a secondary organic Rankine cycle for the synergistic utilization of solar energy and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy.

Enhanced Rheological and Filtration Performance of Drilling Fluids Using Fe3O4/Saponin/Cu(II) Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drilling fluids used in high‐performance well operations often struggle to maintain rheological stability, colloidal dispersion, and filtration control under harsh downhole conditions. This study engineered a multifunctional Fe3O4@Saponin/Cu(II) nanocomposite to address these challenges.

Metal‐CO2 Batteries: By‐Product Challenges and Practical Pathways for Low CO2 Concentration Environment

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal‐CO2 batteries have recently emerged as an intriguing class of energy storage and conversion devices that simultaneously utilize and manage carbon dioxide. Originating from studies of CO2 contamination in metal‐air batteries, these systems have evolved into a distinct research direction, offering insights into CO2 electrochemistry and its
