Routing Optimization of Cable‐Driven Octopus‐Inspired Manipulators With Minimal Actuation via Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...

Modular Electronic Microrobots With Onboard Sensor‐Program‐Steered Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Modular electronic smartlet microrobots integrate ambient‐light energy harvesting, photodetection, programmable CMOS control, and bubble‐based actuation within a sub‐millimeter fold‐up architecture. A 58‐bit on‐board CMOS chiplet enables sensor–program steered switching between independently addressable actuators, achieving closed‐loop 2D navigation in

Unraveling ovarian histology: The key morphological aspects that spur the development of the Fossa ovarii in equine

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The equine ovary exhibits unique structural and developmental features that distinguish it from those of other domestic species, including the presence of an ovulation fossa and an inversion of cortical and medullary layers. This study aimed to investigate the morphostructural development of the equine fetal ovary, with particular emphasis on ...

Modulating Reversible Zinc‐Ion Storage via Interfacial Water Regulation Enabled by Pyrophosphate Layer on MoS2

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This study shows pyrophosphate (PPI)‐modified MoS2 alters interfacial Zn2+ storage via coordinated Zn2+ binding, disrupts [Zn(H2O)6]2+ solvation sheaths, and boosts capacity/structural stability. PPI also stabilizes active interfacial water, with H+‐derived acidic microenvironments inhibiting water dissociation to enhance cycling durability.

Landscape of Research on Accounting Scope 3 Emissions: A Review of Methodologies and Data

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scope 3 emissions have been proposed as a critical metric for evaluating corporate carbon footprint, identifying emission sources, and developing mitigation solutions. Yet, widespread corporate reporting of Scope 3 emissions remains limited, highlighting a critical gap in both research and practice.

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Crystal Plane Engineering of Zn Nanosheet Arrays Toward Robust Hybrid Capacitive Energy Storage

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a dual‐phase ZnCl2 concentration strategy dynamically switching Zn2+ solvation from [Zn(H2O)6]2+ to [ZnCl(H2O)5]+. The solvation shift steers the epitaxial growth of Zn nanosheet arrays, favoring the (002) crystal plane over (101).
