Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

First Arrival Picking of Seismic Data Based on Trace Envelope
IEEE Access, 2019 We introduce a new method for first arrival traveltime picking based on the maximum difference between adjacent points of the envelope (MDPE) of a seismic trace.

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1993 Denote by \textbf{B} a Boolean algebra and by \(P\) the set of finitely additive probabilities in \textbf{B}. We call an initial valuation any map \(v\) from \textbf{B} in \([0,1]\); the meaning of \(v\) is that the available information about a random phenomenon is of type ``the actual probability of the event \(e\) is at least \(v(e)\)''.

The Scientific World Journal, 2000 Nobel Prize announcements dominated science news this week. The Nature news section led with three Prize‐winner stories: medicine, physics, and chemistry. Science saved the Nobel details for next week and instead led with an announced $58 million non‐profit effort to sequence the mouse genome and distribute the results free of charge.

2D Co‐Assembly of Solid Acids Enables Stable Superprotonic Conduction Above 260°C
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A two‐dimensional co‐assembly strategy integrates antimony phosphate and phosphotungstic acid nanosheets into free‐standing inorganic lamellar membranes with confined acid–acid interfaces. The resulting interfacial hydrogen‐bond network enables anhydrous proton conductivity exceeding 0.1 S cm−1 at 260°C and supports stable high‐temperature fuel‐cell ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by skeletal muscles’ precision and endurance, CoilLCE integrates a self‐sensing liquid crystal elastomer/graphene artificial muscle with an embedded Joule‐heating copper coil, enabling closed‐loop multistage actuation with programmable intermediate states (strain accuracy of 2%), and antagonistic coordination (32% total strain). These features

Feedback optimizes neural coding and perception of natural stimuli
eLife, 2018 Growing evidence suggests that sensory neurons achieve optimal encoding by matching their tuning properties to the natural stimulus statistics. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
