Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

Modulating Integrin and Growth Factor Signaling With Peptides: Strategies to Synergistically Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

Las libertades de expresión y de reunión en la Constitución Española : breve apunte sobre los "escraches" como punto de confluencia entre ambas libertades [PDF]

, 2013
El derecho de reunión es una manifestación colectiva de la libertad de expresión y, por tanto, garantía de una opinión pública libre; y garantía, a su vez, del principio democrático participativo, como la libertad de expresión.

Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

‘Labor Rights Are Human Rights’: An Interview with Maina Kiai, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association

Journal of Working-Class Studies, 2017
Although the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association among its thirty articles, more than sixty years elapsed before working people’s rights to form unions and assemble was accorded attention by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

Multi‐Dimensional Acoustic Cascaded Holographic Encryption with Instantaneous Visual Decryption via Particle Manipulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acoustic holograms act as key tools for information encryption, yet current schemes limit encryption dimensionality/security and require time‐consuming decryption. A compact device integrates multi‐dimensional cascaded acoustic holography with particle manipulation, employs extra secret keys, enables rapid decryption, and is validated via 1D/2D/3D ...

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.
