Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

Harvesting the Spin–Orbit Interaction of Light to Generate Helicity‐Dependent Complex Rotational Motion in Optically Trapped Mesoscopic Matter

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Spin–orbit interaction (SOI) of light is exploited to generate helicity‐dependent complex rotational and revolution dynamics in optical tweezers. At the trap center, particle rotation is governed by the direct helicity that follows the input polarization.

Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.
