OCTOID: A Soft Robotic System Featuring Programmable Shape Morphing and Dynamic Structural Coloration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 19, 5 March 2026.
Inspired by octopuses, actuating legs based on soft materials are fabricated with programmed chiroptical properties and mechanical behaviors to achieve dynamic color modulation and reversible shape morphing, and these legs are developed into a modular OCTOID system.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Drilling Within the Critical Zone

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review synthesises 30 years of critical zone drilling methodologies for studying subsurface weathering, water storage, and biogeochemical processes. We evaluate drilling techniques, sampling strategies, downhole logging, and long‐term monitoring approaches while addressing contamination control and core preservation challenges.

Dose‐Dependent Effects of Biochar on Soil Revealed by Fast Field‐Cycling (FFC) NMR: From Molecular Water Dynamics to Soil Functionality

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 349-364, March 2026.
Dose–response of biochar in a clay soil: fifteen mixtures (fBC 0–1) reveal nonlinear thresholds (pH/EC) and sharp WHC gains near fBC ≈ 0.3–0.5. Coupled FT‐IR and FFC‐NMR (0.01–10 MHz; ModelFree τc distributions) link water dynamics to soil functionality.
