A Biomimetic Starfish‐Inspired Magnetic Soft Robot with Ultrasound Monitoring for Targeted Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
This work introduces a starfish‐inspired magnetic soft robot for localized, long‐term inflammatory bowel disease therapy. Featuring biomimetic multi‐arm microspines and magnetic actuation, it navigates the gastrointestinal tract, adheres firmly, and releases drugs on demand, monitored by ultrasound, with validated biosafety and ex vivo therapeutic ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Spatial Strategies in Coral Transplantation: A Systematic Review of Clustered Versus Widespread Configurations

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Active coral reef restoration incorporates ecological engineering principles. Yet, the spatial arrangement of transplanted colonies, one of the few design parameters directly controlled by practitioners, remains poorly explored empirically. We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to evaluate how clustered (high‐density ...

Expert Treatment Considerations for Lower Face and Neck Rejuvenation

Dermatological Reviews, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The lower face and neck are essential to overall facial harmony and a balanced appearance. Although most nonsurgical treatments have focused on the upper and midface, a variety of minimally invasive options are now available for treating the lower face and neck that target different aesthetic concerns and provide welcome ...

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

Development and Genetic Monitoring of a Putatively Thiamine Deficiency Complex Tolerant Atlantic Salmon Broodstock

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We introduce efforts to develop a potentially thiamine deficiency complex (TDC) tolerant Atlantic salmon broodstock via selective breeding, as well as control broodstock with higher genetic diversity (and no selection). Additionally, we develop the genetic monitoring tools (novel genetic marker panel, parentage‐based tagging) to monitor the demographic

Reproductive Biology and Life‐History Plasticity of the Yellowfin Snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis in the Southern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The reproductive biology of the yellowfin snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis, recently identified as a new species, was first examined across all seasons in the southwestern South China Sea. Spawning in both female and male L. xanthopinnis was observed over the years.

Food availability impacts oxygen isotope composition in freshwater snail shells

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Freshwater mollusk shells serve as valuable archives for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions as they record water temperatures in their stable isotopic compositions during biomineralization. Yet, the impact of food availability on these isotopic records has never been fully explored.

Single‐Particle Insights Into the Electronic Structure and Enhanced Stability of CsPbBr3/FAPbBr3 Core/Crown Nanoplatelets at the Nanometer Scale

Small, Volume 22, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Single‐particle‐level investigation using scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals electronic structure and type‐I band alignment of individual CsPbBr3@FAPbBr3 core‐crown nanoplatelet. Crown passivation suppresses deep trap states by 47% and markedly improves electrical stability under repeated bias sweeps.
