Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1299-1312, May 2026.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Rational Design of Transition‐Metal Dual‐Atom Catalysts: Exploiting Neighboring Effects for Efficient CO2 Reduction

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
A dual‐atom catalyst with adjustable proximity effects is depicted, showing that variations in metal–metal interactions can modulate electronic structure, intermediate adsorption, and reaction pathways. These changes guide product selectivity in CO2 reduction and highlight design principles for efficient, tunable DAC systems.

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Attenuation of Influenza a Virus into Live Vaccines Through C‐End Degrons

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Naturally occurring C‐end degrons are exploited to design proteolysis‐targeting live attenuated influenza vaccines. C‐end degron tagging of viral M1 protein promotes proteasome‐dependent degradation, resulting in robust attenuation in host cells while permitting scalable production in engineered cells.
