Snap and Jump: How Elastic Shells Pop Out
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Indent an elastomeric shell and let it go. The spherical shells can store and release the elastic energy. Desktop‐scale experiments, material point method simulation, and analytical theory uncover the fundamental mechanism of soft jumping robots.

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.A photocatalytic strategy enables efficient cyclization of polyenes to cyclopentyl thioethers with consecutive all‐carbon quaternary centers. Using 2,4,6‐triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate in 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoroisopropanol, the method proceeds via a thiyl radical mechanism, offering high yields and good diastereoselectivities.

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.Enantioenriched α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids featuring C–S chirality are valuable targets in organic synthesis. This review outlines recent progress in their asymmetric synthesis, including chiral pool approaches, metal‐ /organo‐catalysis, and emerging biocatalytic strategies. Enantiomerically pure α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids bearing a stereocentre at

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.The study finds that mulch films made with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) and 10% soy waste degrade faster than those without soy. Plants grown with the soy‐containing films are 49% taller, suggesting that the soy acts as a biostimulant.

Shading contributes to Sphagnum decline in response to warming
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Experimental warming of an ombrotrophic bog in northern Minnesota has caused a rapid decline in the productivity and areal cover of Sphagnum mosses, affecting whole‐ecosystem carbon balance and biogeochemistry.

Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rainforest boundary in South America [PDF]
, 2012 Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments.
