Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Stick insects use two different types of smooth attachment pads for locomotion, the pretarsal arolium for adhesion and tarsal euplantulae for friction. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on these pads on living and conscious insects, this work demonstrates that each pad exhibits distinct material properties aligned with its function.

Improvements and persistent biases in the southeast tropical Atlantic in CMIP models
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022 State-of-the-art climate models simulate warmer than observed sea surface temperatures (SST) in eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS), generating biases with profound implications for the simulation of present-day climate and its future projections ...

Domain organization of Legionella effector SetA [PDF]
Cellular Microbiology, 2012 Legionella pneumophila is a human pathogen causing severe pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease. Multiple Legionella effectors are type IV-secreted into the host cell to establish a specific vesicular compartment for pathogen replication.

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Optimization of 3D Immunofluorescence Analysis and Visualization Using IMARIS and MeshLab
Cells, 2023 The precision of colocalization analysis is enhanced by 3D and is potentially more accurate than 2D. Even though 3D improves the visualization of colocalization analysis, rendering a colocalization model may generate a model with numerous polygons.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A cost‐effective strategy is developed analyzing sub‐threshold GWAS loci (5 × 10−8 < P ≤ 10−6), identifying 180 risk loci and 304 high‐confidence genes through combined GWAS/subGWAS analysis. This approach reveals dendrite development and morphogenesis (DDM) as a novel SCZ pathway.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Self-healing of optical functions by molecular metabolism in a swollen elastomer
AIP Advances, 2012 Optical functions of organic dyes, e.g., fluorescence or photochromism, tend to degrade by light irradiation, which causes a short lifetime of photonic devices.

Dual Actuator Wave‐Like Navigator: An Untethered Soft Crawling Robot for Multisurface Locomotion
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Inspired by snails and earthworms, dual actuator wave‐like navigator (DAWN) is a soft, untethered robot that crawls using wave‐like motion generated by dual helical actuators wrapped in soft elastomer skins. Its modular design and cyclic pneumatic skin actuation improve performance across challenging terrains like sand, grass, and gravel.
