Notes on the germination of the endangered species Sclerolaena napiformis (Chenopodiaceae) [PDF]
, 2013 Sclerolaena napiformis is found on fertile plains in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales and is endangered Australia-wide. Introductory work on its germination shows that seeds cannot germinate until the woody fruit has broken down.

Hyperelastic Starch Hydrogel Configures Edible and Biodegradable All‐Components for Soft Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hyperelastic starch hydrogel is tailored via a phase separation strategy of solvent‐antisolvent co‐modulation. The mechanical performance of starch hydrogel is widely tuned with maximum strains: 194.4–361.4%; maximum tensile stresses: 34–192 kPa; and Young's moduli: 36.0–205.8 kPa. Notably, the hydrogel achieves complete soil degradation within 24 days

The Effects of Food on Circadian Rhythm: A Comprehensive Review
eFoodCircadian rhythms regulate essential physiological functions such as metabolism, hormone secretion, and sleep–wake cycles. While light entrains the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), food serves as a powerful zeitgeber (an external ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.
