Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery
A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...
