Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.We present the MyoRobot 3.0, an advanced platform that combines high‐resolution imaging with automated mechanical testing to improve the accuracy of single muscle fibre analysis. The system tracks fibre diameter changes during stretch, preventing major stress miscalculations.

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 2823-2832, August 2026.Abstract Purpose A single hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) angle does not reflect the biomechanics of native, arthritic or prosthetic knees. Since HKA varies throughout flexion, dynamic coronal alignment is best represented by a kinematic curve plotting HKA against the range of motion.

On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of

Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4893-4912, 25 August 2026.ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Small, Volume 22, Issue 47, 21 August 2026.Channel geometry is used to pattern activity in acoustically energized active liquid crystals, producing controlled, directional transport of topological defects. The mechanism is revealed by experiment and minimal modeling, offering a new design principle for programmable topological transport and active microfluidic architectures. ABSTRACT Patterning

Why Have CEO Pay Levels Become Less Diverse?
The Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1893-1950, August 2026.ABSTRACT This paper documents a new stylized fact: the cross‐sectional variation in CEO pay levels has declined precipitously in recent years. We offer one explanation for this decline, namely, firms are increasingly benchmarking CEO compensation to industry peers closest in size, thereby creating pay clusters.
