Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.
Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

Life Cycle Environmental Impacts and Socio‐Economic Implications of Tidal Electricity Generation and Storage in the UK

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
If tidal electricity generation and storage replaced natural gas and battery storage by 2050, it could reduce the climate change impact of UK grid electricity by 71%, saving up to 4.4 Mt CO2 eq./y. Most other environmental impacts would be reduced by up to 24%. However, high costs and low public acceptability hinder its deployment. ABSTRACT Tidal range

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

From Molecules to Machines: An Integrative Framework Linking Molecular Pathogenesis, Multi‐Factorial Risk, Risk Stratification, Clinical Management, and Artificial Intelligence in QT Prolongation and Sudden Cardiac Death

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
An integrative conceptual framework linking the five principal domains addressed in this review. Beginning at the molecular level, loss‐of‐function mutations in KCNQ1 and KCNH2 reduce outward repolarizing currents (IKs and IKr), while gain‐of‐function SCN5A mutations augment late inward sodium current (INa), establishing the genetic substrate for ...
