Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Exploring sustainable logistics practices toward a circular economy: A value creation perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 704-720, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Transforming toward a circular economy (CE) is a viable strategy for achieving sustainable logistics systems. However, it is still unclear how this transformation should be approached because there is limited knowledge in this context. This study aims to explore how the logistics sector incorporates sustainability practices toward CE.

Climate land use and other drivers impacts on island ecosystem services: a global review [PDF]

arXiv
Islands are diversity hotspots and vulnerable to environmental degradation, climate variations, land use changes and societal crises. These factors can exhibit interactive impacts on ecosystem services. The study reviewed a large number of papers on the climate change-islands-ecosystem services topic worldwide.

Decoding the Chemical Language of Ribosomally Synthesized and Post‐Translationally Modified Peptides from the Untapped Archaea Domain

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Secondary metabolites (SMs) are essential across all life domains, yet those originating from the Archaea domain remain poorly understood. Here, the systematic genome mining and the pioneering heterologous expression of archaeal SMs have revealed the chemical landscape of archaeal lanthipeptides, showing both canonical and non‐canonical forms.
