Cicada Wing‐Inspired Skeleton‐GO Networks in Melamine Foams for Multifunctional High‐Performance Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the intricate microstructure of cicada wings, researchers developed a novel in situ skeleton‐graphene membrane architecture within lightweight foams. This bioinspired design dramatically enhances multifunctional performance: vibration attenuation time decreases by ∼83.3%, damping capacity increases by ∼179.3%, and compressive modulus rises ...

Human Foetal Neuroblasts Exhibit BK Channel‐Dependent Membrane Voltage Oscillations upon Depolarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

Airflow Rate Control of Oscillating Water Column for Maximising Wave Energy Capture

e-Prime: Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy
The stalling effect in Oscillating Water Column OWC well turbine−based limits the power generated. This issue is solved by controlling the airflow rate, where the peak waves is predicted and accordingly the airflow speed is reduced. This paper introduces

AI Designed Conformation Locking Peptides Target STING to Restore Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A generative AI pipeline identifies SCP‐1, a conformation‐locking peptide that stabilizes inactive STING. Incorporated into a dual‐responsive hydrogel for localized, MMP‐9‐triggered release, SCP‐1 suppresses inflammation, promotes reparative macrophage polarization, and accelerates diabetic wound healing.
