Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution
Steep elevational gradients are natural laboratories for understanding species–environment relationships, as they provide high environmental heterogeneity over accessible distances.

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Ecological integrity of boreal streams [PDF]

, 2007
Running waters provide a number of services for humans, such as drinking water and food resources and many freshwater animals are confined and specialised to this environment.

Ecology: Complexity and functionality in forests

Current Biology
Forests are species-rich ecosystems and provide vital ecosystem services. A new study highlights how tree diversity, mycorrhizal fungi and soil food web structure govern forest functionality, and how tiny energy fluxes can be critical for community persistence. The findings provide new insights into how to sustainably manage forests.

Vision‐Augmented Wearable Interfaces: Bioinspired Approaches for Realistic AI‐Human‐Machine Interaction

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review presents recent progress in vision‐augmented wearable interfaces that combine artificial vision, soft wearable sensors, and exoskeletal robots. Inspired by biological visual systems, these technologies enable multimodal perception and intelligent human–machine interaction.

Low-intensity burning effects on human skeletal remains: insights from a case study

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences
Background The absence of sex, age-at-death, and stature estimation methods designed specifically for burnt skeletal remains may hinder, or even prevent, the identification process. Case presentation.
