Treecreeper Drone: Adaptive Mechanism for Passive Tree Trunk Perching

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Taking inspiration from treecreepers, a passively triggered aerial robot that can reliably perch on vertical tree trunks is presented. The friction‐based approach combines a microspine array with a tail‐like support, and then validates via dynamic analyses and flight experiments, ensuring stable performance across trunk diameters and bark textures ...

Poligromorph Materials: Shape Morphing Functional Polyvinyl Alcohol/Maleic Anhydride Ethylene‐Propylene/Carbon Composites in Aqueous and Hydrocarbon‐Based Media

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Hygromorphic materials, such as pinecone scales, respond to humidity changes. This study presents poligromorphic composites—composed of carbon fibers (CFs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and maleic anhydride ethylene‐propylene (MA‐EPR)—that react to water, humidity, and hydrocarbons.

Density Functional Theory–Spectroscopy Integrated Identification Method Encompassing Experimental and Theoretical Analyses for Designer Drug Stimulants

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel approach integrates gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry with infrared, Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy plus density functional theory to detect synthetic drugs. Quantum hyperpolarization further boosts NMR sensitivity for low‐concentration samples, improving detection accuracy in complex mixtures and offering promising ...
