Bioinspired Morphology-Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Origin and Dispersal of Domesticated Peach Palm [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is a Neotropical palm domesticated by Native Americans. Its domestication resulted in a set of landraces (var. gasipaes), some with very starchy fruit used for fermentation, others with an equilibrium of starch and oil used as snacks. Which of the three wild types (var.
