Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

Magnetically Actuated Drops‐on‐Stilts Microrobots for Transport and Delivery of Hydrophobic Cargo
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.Iron oxide nanoparticles and oil droplets in external magnetic fields form “drops‐on‐stilts” microrobots that transport hydrophobic cargo. Tunable nanoparticle–droplet interactions generate stilt‐like structures. Field rotation enables walking, obstacle navigation, and collective motion.

New Insights Into Cranial Base Ontogeny in Modern Humans Through Morphometric Analysis
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives The cranial base is located at the interface between the face, the brain, and the vertebral column. Understanding its growth is essential for elucidating key aspects of craniofacial development, neurodevelopment, and locomotor function.
