Liquid Jetting‐Based Miniature Robotic Navigation in Confined Fluidic Spaces
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We introduce a new class of liquid‐jetting‐based miniature robots (JetBots) ranging in size from mm‐to‐cm, featuring a unified approach in design, fabrication, and actuation. They demonstrate fast locomotion (30.3 cm/s), rapid steering (648.8°/s), and diverse functions, such as puncturing soft materials and unlimited cargo sampling and delivery, paving

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective The extent of neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) and the pathogenic processes underlying neuronal dysfunction and loss remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the expression of key molecules representing different cell death signaling pathways and their association with Lewy pathology, dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss and stage of PD ...
