The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

The “hidden workers”: livestock farmers’ perceptions of ecosystem services provided by dung beetles
Ecology and SocietyNon-native dung beetles were introduced to Australian agricultural systems to provide ecosystem services, such as pasture cleaning and to control dung-breeding flies, which benefit particularly livestock farmers.

Buzzing in the pat : a new large-scale method for studying dung beetle functions [PDF]
, 2013 Lantakuoriaiset ovat tärkeitä maatalousekosysteemien toiminnan kannalta. Lantakuoriaisten keskuu-dessa useat erilaiset toiminnalliset ryhmät hajottavat laiduntavien eläinten lantaa ja kierrättävät lannan ravinteita takaisin maahan.

Adaptive Twisting Metamaterials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces torque‐controlled twisting metamaterials as a transformative platform for adaptive crashworthiness. By combining multiscale predictive modeling with experimental validation on additively manufactured gyroids, it demonstrates tunable stiffness, collapse stress, and energy absorption.

Rainbow Photonic Crystals: Self‐Assembly of Carbohydrate Bottlebrushes Block Copolymers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Full‐color reflective 1D photonic crystals, capable of a tunable, responsive, and reversible color with high repeatability, are created from the self‐assembly of carbohydrate‐based brush block copolymers (BR01‐04). Abstract Tunable and responsive photonic crystal systems are the subject of great research interest owing to their ability to actively ...

Ownership-dependent mating tactics of minor males of the beetle Librodor japonicus (Nitidulidae) with intra-sexual dimorphism of mandibles [PDF]
, 2007 Intra-sexual dimorphism is found in the weapons of many male beetles. Different behavioral tactics to access females between major and minor males, which adopt fighting and alternative tactics, respectively, are thought to maintain the male dimorphism ...
