Bionic Tactile Skins for Robotics: Fundamentals, Advances, and Future Prospects

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Robotic bionic tactile skins (RBTSs), as crucial components of next‐generation robotic systems, have attracted significant attention in recent years. By enabling robots to achieve human‐like tactile perception and interact effectively with their surroundings, RBTSs play an essential role in enhancing robotic intelligence.

Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Global Burden of Clinostomum complanatum in Freshwater Fish: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence and Pathological Effect

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinostomum complanatum infection is a trematode parasite infecting diverse freshwater fish hosts, causing pathological damage and economic losses. Despite its veterinary and public health importance, its global burden remains insufficiently quantified. This study aimed to assess the global burden of C.

Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Glycosaminoglycan at the Interface of Sensory Perception and Neural Signaling

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.

Sleep in the platypus

, 1999
We have conducted the first study of sleep in the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus. Periods of quiet sleep, characterized by raised arousal thresholds, elevated electroencephalogram amplitude and motor and autonomic quiescence, occupied 6-8 h/day.
