Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

Photobiomodulation‑Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Neural Differentiation via UFL1‑Mediated UFMylation in Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulated microglia release engineered extracellular vesicles that deliver UFL1 to the injured spinal cord. UFL1 competitively binds p53 with MDM2, inhibiting p53 ubiquitination and stabilizing p53 signaling. This dual mechanism simultaneously promotes anti‐inflammatory microglial polarization and directs neural stem cell differentiation toward

Chelation‐Driven Dual‐Interface Regulation for Long‐Life Aqueous Zn–I2 Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zn2+–TPEN coordination generates TPEN‐derived coordination species (TCC) that contribute to the regulation of both electrode interfaces. At the Zn anode, it creates an interfacial environment with reduced water accessibility that suppresses HER and corrosion while promoting uniform deposition; at the I2 cathode, it captures polyiodide to inhibit ...

Applying Scientific Rationale to the Current Perceptions and Explanations of Massage and Miscarriage in the First Trimester [PDF]

, 2023
Miscarriage is a relatively common occurrence, impacting 8–15% of clinically recognised pregnancies, and up to 30% of all conceptions. The public perception of the risk factors associated with miscarriage does not match the evidence.
