Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Self‐Assembled Myricetin‐Arginine Conjugate Nanozymes for Targeted Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Osteoclastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Carrier‐free myricetin‐arginine conjugate nanozymes (MANZs) have been fabricated through a Mannich reaction and spontaneous self‐assembly. MANZs selectively accumulate in inflamed joints by targeting M1 macrophages via CAT2‐mediated uptake. The nanozymes can effectively modulate macrophage polarization, suppress osteoclast differentiation, and mitigate

Synthesis, Properties, Applications and Challenges of Multicomponent Doped Organic Room Temperature Phosphorescence Materials

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
The multi‐component doping strategy, involving self‐assembly, host‐guest systems, and crystal engineering, has gained attention for its simplicity, cost‐effectiveness, structural diversity, and adjustable room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP). This review summarizes and evaluates the progress in creating RTP materials using this strategy, highlighting

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Predicting Parameters Affecting Building Energy Consumption Using Machine Learning Models

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1474-1491, March 2026.
This framework integrates long‐term weather forecasting with building energy simulation to predict energy demand. The CNN–LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy (R2 ≈ 0.95), supporting smart HVAC control with ~ 15% energy savings. ABSTRACT The rapid growth of population and the construction industry have led to an increase in energy demand and an ...

The Neolithic Site of Piano dei Cardoni in the Island of Ustica (Italy): Minero‐Petrographic and Chemical Characterization of the Ceramic Finds and Clayey Raw Materials

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of minero‐petrographic and chemical analyses of pottery and potential local raw materials from Ustica, a small volcanic island off the coast of Palermo (Sicily), inhabited during the Middle Neolithic. Typologically, the pottery shows cultural connections to the Bicromica and Serra d'Alto traditions, linking ...
