Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Press Hardening for Sustainable Lightweight Chassis Design in Heavy‐Duty Vehicles: A Material Performance and Life Cycle Assessment Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
The article explores how high‐strength steels and press hardening revolutionize lightweight chassis design for heavy‐duty vehicles. It reveals that press hardened steels combined with shot peening can cut weight by up to 34% and reduce environmental impact by 21%–32%.

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

Combustion Performance of Silicone Rubber Polymer Insulation Material Under Damp‐Heat Ageing Conditions: Molecular Insights Into the Effects of Structural Changes on Macroscopic Properties

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silicone rubber (SR), an organic silicon polymer material, is known for its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. It is widely used in composite insulators and cable accessory materials. However, the ageing caused by humidity and heat significantly impacts its performance, an issue that cannot be ignored. This paper investigates

Local climate and genetic influence on intraspecific variation in torpor physiology of a cave‐roosting bat

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...

Universities, ‘Left Behind Places’ and the Making of a Moral Crisis

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Britain's universities face an acute financial and moral crisis. Once celebrated as engines of the knowledge economy and social mobility, they are now viewed increasingly with suspicion—criticised as elitist, self‐serving and detached from public needs.
