Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin‐Like Actuator
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

Causes of rutting in flexible and semi-rigid test sections after 14 years of service
Rutting is a major distress and is commonly targeted in design-build contracts as a key requirement, but at the same time, contemporary design methods usually provide scarce information on evolution in absolute terms.

Development of cement-bitumen composites for semi-flexible pavement surfacing [PDF]
Cement-bitumen composites are produced by pouring selected cementitious grout slurries onto the surface of open graded asphalt skeletons, which subsequently filled the voids under the influence of gravitational action.

Comprehensive Review of Synthesis, Structure, and Electrochemical Performance of LiFePO4
Olivine‐structured LiFePO4 (LFP) nanomaterials are the most effective cathode materials for lithium‐ion battery applications. Here, we report how precursor chemistry, synthesis routes, morphology control, carbon engineering, and doping strategies govern phase formation, charge transport, and electrochemical behaviour of LFP cathodes.

Generating Infrastructure Funds Through Innovative Pavement Management
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimates that there will be a need for $3.6 trillion in infrastructure investment by 2020. A portion of this need can be made available through judicious management of the Nation's pavement systems.

Repurposing FDA‐Approved Drugs to Inhibit Fungal PPTases for Broad‐Spectrum Synergy
Fungal secondary metabolites serve as crucial virulence effectors; however, the potential of their biosynthetic pathways as antifungal targets remains inadequately comprehended. Repurposed FDA‐approved drugs inhibit fungal PPTase (essential for secondary metabolism) in vivo.
