Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

3D Nanoprinted Structures Promote Robust Integration of Brain Organoids into Topography‐Guided Neuronal Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Dedicated cultivation platforms facilitate the implementation of brain organoids in guided neuronal networks. Fabrication is enabled by two‐photon polymerization‐based 3D nanoprinting (3DN) and allows for cultivation in standard 12‐well plates. Fine features, namely slopes, funnels, rods, steps, and walls, facilitate and promote organoid positioning ...

The “We” and “Me” of Identity in Hazardous Industry Organizations: Face Work Tactics Among Practicing Engineers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

Mean temperature determines whether winter variability accelerates or buffers energy loss

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Winter survival in dormant animals depends on conserving finite energy reserves, yet winter temperatures fluctuate around shifting means. In ectotherms, metabolic rate increases exponentially with temperature, so thermal variability is expected to accelerate energy loss,

The last glacial cycle in western Norway—extensive MIS 5d glaciation, multiple glacial advances and LGM glacial advance phases

Boreas, EarlyView.
Raised marine MIS 5c sediments evidence extensive preceding (5d) glaciation in western Norway. This is the first out of five (or six) major Weichselian glacier advances that seem to correspond to North Atlantic sea surface cooling periods. Till beds capping the marine sediments show stages of pre‐LGM advance and subsequent retreat.

Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...
