A Portable Soft Robotic Glove with Fully Functional Thumb Assistance for Complex Dexterous Fine Motor Skills

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A portable, sensorized, and controlled dexterous thumb‐enhanced glove helps stroke survivors swipe phones, twist caps, and perform other tasks. It is based on a powerful continuously, segmented origami dual chamber actuator to achieve active thumb CMC and MCP joint assistance and passively extend the IP joint.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

A Rare De Novo Missense Mutation in IFT122 Confers a Genetic Susceptibility Factor of Idiopathic Pediatric Uveitis Via Trio‐based Whole‐Exome Sequencing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rare de novo IFT122‐A773E variant is identified in idiopathic pediatric uveitis and shown to exacerbate retinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, the variant enhances IFT43 interaction, elevates calcium signaling, and activates the MEK/ERK/FRA1 axis, revealing a previously unrecognized cilia‐associated pathway that may increase ...

A frontotemporal dementia-like case after high-altitude climbing

The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2023
Background We report a case who developed long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae similar to frontotemporal dementia after suffering a "high altitude sickness" while climbing a high mountain without taking precautions against acute hypoxia. Case presentation

3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

A Thickness‐Invariant Origami Robot With Integrated Actuation and Multimodal Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thickness‐invariant variation on the Yoshimura origami pattern is used as the basis of a robot, allowing power, actuation, and control systems to be embedded within the thickened panels of the pattern. The robot uses multiple kinematic branches to achieve distinct modes of locomotion, such as walking, running, galloping, and turning. ABSTRACT Origami

Passive Color Imaging Through Macroscopic Strong Scattering Media

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Light reflected from distant targets is severely attenuated and scattered by dense fog. A color‐channel‐simulated, independently exposed sCMOS array (CISA), combined with a passive colorful de‐scattering pipeline (PCDP), captures and reconstructs extremely weak target signals.

Uniaxial Strain‐Driven Ferroelastic Domain Tuning in LaAlO3${\rm LaAlO}_3$

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present work demonstrates based on AFM, μ$\umu$‐Raman spectroscopy, XRD, and first‐principles, that uniaxial strain provides a handle for tuning the ferroelastic domain populations in lanthanum aluminate, driving a continuous and controlled phase transition from a four‐variant rhombohedral crystal system to a two‐variant orthorhombic crystal system
