Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Biodegradable and Bioinspired UV Light Recognition via Sustainable Synaptic Transistors for Artificial Intelligence Vision Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We report a biodegradable electrolyte‐gated synaptic phototransistor that combines low‐power UV sensing with memory functionality, offering a sustainable platform for AI vision systems and health‐monitoring technologies. Presented here is a biodegradable, bioinspired synaptic phototransistor (SPT) based on an electrolyte‐gated field‐effect transistor ...

Deep Learning Methods for Assessing Time‐Variant Nonlinear Signatures in Clutter Echoes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion classification from biosonar echoes in clutter presents a fundamental challenge: extracting structured information from stochastic interference. Deep learning successfully discriminates object speed and direction from bat‐inspired signals, achieving 97% accuracy with frequency‐modulated calls but only 48% with constant‐frequency tones.

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Sitting in Many Camps—Innovative Approaches and Methods for First Nations‐Led Research Into Indigenous Peacebuilding

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2021, a desktop review was conducted of published references to First Nations peoples' approaches to conflict and its management in Australia (Project Stage One), culminating in a report published in 2024. This article focuses on Project Stage Two, a complex, innovative research undertaking building on the findings of Stage One, and being ...
