Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Growth and Morphometric Characteristic of the Bivalve Callista chione Population in Timsah Lake, Suez Canal, Egypt [PDF]
Catrina: The International Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2017 This is the first attempt to study some biological aspects for the bivalve Callista chione in Egypt. The study of dimensional relationships assumes great importance in fishery biology researches. Studying the biological characteristics of C.

Dental Microwear Texture Analysis on Radular Teeth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.3D microwear textures reveal how gastropod radular teeth respond to controlled abrasive contact. Distinct surface signatures distinguish regular abrasion from fracture‐dominated material removal, showing how mineralized coatings, fibrous cores, and substrate properties jointly shape wear and failure in a biological scraping interface.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Structure and function of the ovipositor of the encyrtid wasp Microterys flavus
Frontiers in ZoologyBackground Oviposition is crucial for the reproductive success of parasitoid insects and, hence, ovipositor structure and oviposition behaviour have probably played a central role in their adaptive evolution.
