The Elephant Trunk Skin Inspires a Highly Sensitive and Deformable, Yet Robust, Armor Skin
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.The study presents the elephant trunk‐inspired armor skin with tactile sensing (ETATS). The ETATS architecture stretches and compresses while resisting puncture and tear, and it enables optical detection of pressure and lateral strain. Morphology‐based decoupling of strain and pressure paves the way to sensitive and deformable, yet robust, soft‐robotic

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.We present a large‐area bidirectional human–machine interface integrating electrostatic multimodal tactile sensing with a dual‐resonant haptic actuator. The system enables linear pressure sensing that is decoupled from actuation and stable broadband vibrotactile feedback under dynamic contact conditions, supporting real‐time feedback modulation aligned

Progress in Strain Engineering of 2D‐Integrated Heterostructures for Ultrasensitive Sensors
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.. ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional (2D) integrated heterostructures have emerged as a cornerstone in the advancement of next‐generation sensor technologies. These heterostructures, which combine materials with different dimensionalities, have led to significant breakthroughs in sensing performance and device integration.

Polygenic Prediction of Equestrian Sport Discipline Among Horses Bred for Jumping and Dressage
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Horses bred for different equestrian sports vary in physical, physiological and behavioural requirements. Characterising genetic markers associated with discipline provides an opportunity to improve identification of horses best suited to either jumping or dressage.

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture
Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...
