Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Dosimetric and clinical validation of a high‐density bolus for superficial skin tumors treated with radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Accurate dose deposition in superficial radiotherapy remains challenging due to the inherent skin‐sparing effect of megavoltage photon beams and difficulties in ensuring bolus conformity. Purpose This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of the room‐temperature‐malleable high‐density bolus, to ...

Flexible intervention workflow for MRI guided robotic prostate seed brachytherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Low‐dose‐rate prostate seed brachytherapy (BT) is an established guideline‐conformal treatment option for low‐risk prostate cancer. Precise seed placement is essential for achieving adequate dose coverage while minimizing exposure of surrounding healthy tissue.

Bandgap‐Dependent Band‐to‐Band Tunneling in Carbon Nanotube Transistors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
We systematically investigate bandgap‐dependent BTBT in SWCNT transistors by comparing wide‐bandgap (6,5) (Eg≈1.13 eV), medium‐bandgap HiPco, and narrow‐bandgap Arc‐discharge (Eg≈0.59 eV) SWCNT networks. The narrow‐bandgap networks show stronger BTBT, higher off‐state leakage, and lower on/off ratio, while wide‐bandgap (6,5) devices suppress BTBT and ...

The Tendon‐to‐Bone Seam: A Transtendinous Approach to Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This technique article describes the tendon‐to‐bone seam technique, a knotless, transtendinous approach to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The technique employs a single‐use deployment device preloaded with multiple PEEK anchors interconnected with a single polyethylene #2 suture, enabling the surgeon to create a continuous “seam” of ...

Parametric Study of Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum Sandwich Lightweight Partition Wallboards Under Impact Load

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on the validated LS‐DYNA model, this study carried out a series of simulations on Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum (P‐RW‐P) sandwich lightweight partition wallboards under impact load. The effects of structural and impact load parameters on their impact performance of P‐RW‐P wallboards were systematically analyzed, providing a basis for the ...

On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of
