Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.

AIR POLLUTION AND RADIOACTIVITY CIRCULATION PROBLEMS [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1959 The role of meteorology in the study of large-scale air pollution problems is reviewed. Applications of natural and artificial radioactivity in studies on the atmosphere are described. Weather conditions resulting in area- wide air pollution and activities in progress to study them are discussed.

Can We Draw Conclusions on Supernova Shock Wave Propagation Using Short‐Lived Radioactive Isotopes?
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We run a three‐dimensional Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model to follow the propagation of 53Mn (exclusively produced from type Ia supernovae, SNIa), 60Fe (exclusively produced from core‐collapse supernovae, CCSNe), 182Hf (exclusively produced from intermediate mass stars, IMSs), and 244Pu (exclusively produced from neutron star mergers ...

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.
