Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Divergent Patterns of Biodiversity, Community Assembly, and Environmental Sensitivity Across Taxa in Adjacent Rivers

Biology
The differentiated responses of biological groups to environmental change are central to river ecosystem management; however, the shared and distinct environmental selection processes that shape their spatial patterns remain understudied. We investigated

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Assessment of water ecological health in shallow lakes: A new framework based on water resource-environment-ecology

Ecological Indicators
In lake ecosystems, human disturbances can severely damage ecological integrity, particularly in shallow lakes. Existing research on water ecological health (WEH) assessment has often overlooked critical aspects such as water resources, water environment,
