Distributed Micropneumatic Sensors for Soft Robots to Detect Touch and Pose

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robots need integrated touch and pose sensing for safe and reliable operation. This work presents a three‐fingered soft gripper with 18 micropneumatic sensors made from the same materials as its pneumatic actuators. By measuring airflow resistance changes in deforming microchannels of the sensors, finger pose and contact are detected, enabling ...

Gene–radon interaction effects on lung cancer risk: validation of susceptibility loci using archived DNA from German Uranium miners

Genes and Environment
Background Radon exposure increases lung cancer risk, shown in studies on indoor exposure (low exposure) and uranium miners (high exposure). Genome-wide and candidate gene studies have identified DNA variants that interact with occupational radon to ...

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Quantitative Pertechnetate Capture by a Bambusuril‐based Material: From Seawater Decontamination to Radiopharmaceutical Solutions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Bambusurils form strong inclusion complexes with pertechnetate in water and, when immobilized on silica, enable its quantitative capture from saline media at femtomolar concentrations. This supramolecular platform translates molecular recognition into practical applications for pertechnetate preconcentration and recovery, with potential relevance to ...

Acute radiation syndrome caused by accidental radiation exposure - therapeutic principles

BMC Medicine, 2011
Fortunately radiation accidents are infrequent occurrences, but since they have the potential of large scale events like the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima, preparatory planning of the medical management of radiation accident victims is ...

Spectral‐Kinetic Synergy in Au‐Network Engineered FeTiO3: A Multi‐Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How can humanity achieve lunar self‐sufficiency? We utilize Au topology networks to modify the abundant lunar ilmenite. This catalyst, under sunlight, can convert waste carbon dioxide into space fuel. This design leverages the moon's natural vacuum for green manufacturing, avoiding the waste of gold and serving as “artificial chloroplasts” to sustain ...
