Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Ticks home in on body heat: A new understanding of Haller's organ and repellent action.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Ticks are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of disease to humans and animals. Tick host detection is mainly ascribed to Haller's organ, a complex sensory structure on the tick foreleg that detects odors, carbon dioxide and heat, but these host ...
