Inverse Design of Pre‐Strain via a Predictive Electromechanical Model for Enhanced Strain Sensing
An analytical electromechanical model rooted in microcrack evolution mechanics is globally calibrated from only eight pre‐strain datasets, enabling prediction of the complete sensing response at untested pre‐strain values within the calibrated design space (R2 > 0.99).

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

A Magnetic‐Driven Self‐Rotation‐Stabilized Miniature Swimming Robot
Inspired by the stable rotational descent of seeds in nature, this study designs a magnetic‐driven self‐rotation‐stabilized miniature swimming robot (MSMSR). Based on a resonance‐driven strategy, the robot exhibits high swimming performance, offering enhanced directional swimming and improved resistance to water flow disturbances compared to existing ...

From behavioural contracts to smart contracts.
The notion of contract in computer science has been associated with several fields and application. The term of contract programming was firstly conceived in 1986 by Bertrand Meyer in connection with the design of the Eiffel programming language. The idea was that software systems collaborate on the basis of mutual obligations and benefits.

Freestanding hierarchical‐porous BCZT thin films integrate a compliant porous surface with a dense piezoceramic backbone to balance mechanical reliability, voltage sensitivity, and acoustic coupling. The films enable stable wearable pulse‐wave monitoring and enhanced tissue‐coupled ultrasonic energy harvesting, offering a promising route toward soft ...
