Unraveling the Power of Disorder: A Bioinspired Cuttlebone Structure With Superior Strength, Energy Absorption and Isotropy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
Cuttlebone‐inspired architected metamaterials introduce controlled structural disorder to simultaneously enhance strength, energy absorption, and compressive stability. Tunable disorder suppresses shear anisotropy, outperforms periodic lattices, and establishes discrete randomness as a robust route to high‐performance lightweight mechanical ...

Mastication‐Induced Electrical Stimulation Activates Prg4+ Chondroprogenitors for Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
This study presents a ″trash‐to‐treasure″ strategy that converts harmful joint overloads into beneficial electrical cues. The biodegradable MagPie, by providing piezoelectrical stimulation and releasing Mg2+ during mastication, exerts synergistic pro‐regenerative and anti‐inflammatory effects on Prg4+ cells via the ECM‐mediated FAK‐PI3K‐Akt axis ...

Abalone Gut Microbiome Regulators: A Review Synthesizing Gut Physiology, Microorganisms, Diet and the Environment

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...

From continuous to interruptible distillation: Flexible electric heating column architecture with fast start‐up

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Electrification of distillation offers a promising route to reducing scope‐1 emissions from one of the chemical industry's most energy‐intensive unit operations. However, conventional adiabatic columns are dynamically inflexible: Long, energy‐intensive start‐ups make shutdown and restart impractical under variable electricity prices and ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...
