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

This work presents compact, low‐voltage actuators based on electropermanent magnetic interactions. The actuators show good overall performance across key metrics and are implemented in wearable devices and untethered robots. Their ability to operate in different configurations and hold positions without energy input highlights their potential for ...

ControlIt: A Universal Framework for Translational, Adaptive, and Online Brain–Computer Interfaces
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) lack a unified platform that works across signals and algorithms. ControlIt, an open‐source, modular ROS2‐based BCI framework supporting electroencephalography (EEG), electrocorticography (ECoG), and spike‐based decoding across both classification and regression tasks is presented.

Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Respiratory Involvement in HIST1H1E‐Related Rahman Syndrome: A Case of Severe Mixed Apnea
ABSTRACT Rahman syndrome (HIST1H1E‐related neurodevelopmental syndrome, OMIM #617537) is a rare autosomal‐dominant condition caused by truncating variants in the C‐terminal domain of the HIST1H1E gene. It is characterized by macrocephaly, hypotonia, craniofacial anomalies, and multisystem anomalies.
