XeraBorg: Neural Control of Tail‐Flick Escape for Backward Propulsion in Cyborg Crayfish

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents the first controlled tail‐flick propulsion method for the cyborg Cherax quadricarinatus. Comprehensive experiments establish a foundational framework for using the crayfish's natural escape mechanism as a locomotion strategy, expanding its potential as an underwater and amphibious mobile robot.

Anion‐Driven Surface Reconstruction Enables Direct Regeneration of LiCoO2 Cathode Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The anion scpecies in molten salt systems critically govern the surface reconstruction of regenerated LiCoO2. LiOH−LiCl flux, featuring strong Cl− adsorption and facile dissociation, directs preferential relithiation on (003) facets and forms a Li−O enriched interface.

Spatial responses of vegetation-soil system to complex factors in a sandy-rocky island chain

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Vegetation-soil systems vary spatially across sandy and rocky islands due to the complex interaction of natural and anthropogenic factors. Revealing the spatial responses of vegetation-soil system to these factors is important for island conservation and

Towards Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Chile

Coastal Management, 2005
Abstract The territorial (country-coast) and economic (capitalization of resources) characteristics of Chile make the country extremely dependent on the coastal zone and resources. The level and rate of economic growth achieved in recent decades make it advisable to pay special attention to the management of coastal resources. Considerable efforts have

Integrated Management of Coastal Zones in Venezuela

Revista Costas, 2021
In 1999, Venezuela began a Pilot Project for Coastal Marine Areas, establishing a Technical Unit in the now-defunct Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources. During the last 21 years, the foundations were laid for the Integrated Coastal Zones Management, approving a Coastal Zones Law in 2001 and developing a comprehensive Planning and ...

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...
