Integrating Vibrio natriegens for Photon Manipulation in Living Lighting Devices
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rationalization of genetic and material engineering tools has enabled the engineering of fluorescent Vibrio natriegens (V. natriegens) to fabricate straightforward, highly emissive and stable V. natriegens‐silicones color filters for the first red‐emitting bacteria‐hybrid light‐emitting diodes. This pinpoints V. natriegens as a high‐performance protein

Аnti-corruption mechanism and means of detinization in the social sphere
Journal of Economics and International Relations, 2021 The most effective means of overcoming corruption and the shadow economy, especially in the social sphere and public services, is to create effective and legitimate "rules of the game" (institutional framework) that would "naturally" legalize shadow (including corruption) funds circulating in the national socio-economic system.

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Sleep Alters the Velocity of Physiological Brain Pulsations in Humans
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sleep alters I/CSF oscillatory flow, driven by increased respiratory (29%) and vasomotor pulsation (21%) velocities, while cardiovascular pulsations decreased by (22%). Velocity is quantified using optical flow analysis of MREG data. Spectral power increases alongside these pulsations (spatial correlation, r = 0.35 and r = 0.39, respectively ...
