Comparative Neuromechanical Wing‐Actuation Architectures of Flapping Flight in Insects, Hummingbirds, and Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

Noncovalent Synthesis of Amphiphilic Block Copolymers Through Host–Guest Interactions

open access: yesChemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 21, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
A supramolecular approach for constructing amphiphilic block copolymers has been developed based on host–guest interactions between calix[5]arene‐functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG) and [60]fullerene‐functionalized polystyrene (PS). This strategy offers a modular and efficient platform for the fabrication of supramolecular amphiphilic block ...
