Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Bacterial infection and poor integration often lead to orthopedic implant failure. Modifying implant surfaces can improve osseointegration. Titanium has been engineered to form titania nanotubes doped with zinc and strontium. These surfaces were evaluated for antibacterial effects and their ability to promote osteogenic differentiation in stem cells ...

ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Study on the Fragmentation Characteristics and Dust Generation Mechanism of Coal Cutting by Pick
ABSTRACT During underground excavation, coal dust generation threatens miners' health and damages ecosystems. Its generation is directly influenced by cutting pick performance and inherent coal properties. This study investigates the effects of coal properties and cutting parameters on coal fragmentation characteristics from a mesoscopic perspective ...
