Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Scaling Effect on the Relationship between Landscape Pattern and Land Surface Temperature
Liu Hua, Qihao Weng
openalex +1 more source
Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

When the sand blossoms: Phylogeny, trait evolution, and geography of speciation in Linanthus
Abstract Premise Understanding how plants successfully diversified in novel environments is a central question in evolutionary biology. Linanthus occurs in arid areas of western North America and exhibits extensive floral trait variation, multiple color polymorphisms, differences in blooming time, and variation in life history strategies.
