Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...

No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Autoantibodies in Patients With Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Activate GSK‐3β, Resulting in a Loss of Cardiomyocyte Cohesion

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac desmosome disease, as more than 50% of affected patients carry pathogenic variants in desmosome protein‐coding genes. In this study, we focused on the role and mechanisms of pathogenic and non‐pathogenic autoantibodies against intercalated disc (ICD) proteins such as ...
