A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Bionic Solar‐Powered Heavy Metal Trap for Eco‐Friendly Sludge Drying and Simultaneous Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

An energy‐based aggregate stability method is more management‐sensitive than commercial methods in coarse‐textured, subtropical orchard soils

Agricultural & Environmental Letters
Aggregate stability impacts important soil functions, including carbon/water storage and soil structure. Macroaggregate stability tests, using rainfall simulation or wet sieving, are commonly used, but microaggregate stability tests may be more ...

Subsoil tillage and straw mulching are synergistic for long-term improvement of soil carbon and structural characteristics

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Subsoil tillage (S) improves the stability and quality of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil structure. Combining straw mulching with subsoil tillage (SS) may further improve soil physical and biogeochemical properties, whilst enabling abundant straw ...

Fungal-mediated soil aggregation as a mechanism for carbon stabilization

The ISME Journal
Abstract Soils can potentially be turned into net carbon sinks for atmospheric carbon to offset anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Occlusion of soil organic carbon in soil aggregates is a key mechanism, which temporarily protects it from decomposition by soil organisms. Filamentous fungi are recognized for their positive role in the

Eco‐Geography Reverses Dominant AMR Reservoirs in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Integron‐Rich Mobilomes and Cross‐Niche Connectivity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dominant antimicrobial resistance reservoirs in Klebsiella pneumoniae vary across eco‐geographic settings rather than following a universal pattern. Integrated One Health and global genomic analyses show that lineage structure, integron load, and cross‐niche connectivity shape whether AMR burden accumulates primarily in human or nonhuman compartments ...

Long-Term Organic Fertilization and Straw Return Affect Shajiang Black Soil (Vertisol) Nutrient Availability, Aggregate Stability, and Crop Yield with the Winter Wheat–Summer Maize Double-Cropping System in Northern China

Agronomy
Long-term fertilization affects soil nutrient levels and aggregate stability, eventually altering crop yield. However, their responses to organic fertilizer application and straw returning are still unclear, particularly as the contributions of soil ...

Transposase‐Assisted Donor Tethering Boosts Large‐Fragment HDR in Plants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A transposase‐assisted donor tethering strategy is developed to enhance homology‐directed repair in plants. By recruiting donor DNA to double‐strand breaks and synergizing with repair pathway reprogramming and transcription‐coupled donor design, this system markedly improves large‐fragment targeted insertion efficiency, providing a robust platform for ...
