Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.
