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

Evaluating the effectiveness of overwintering cover crops in supporting spring soil trafficability in Manitoba [PDF]
Excess soil water is typical of soils in Manitoba during the early growing season due to snowmelt and heavy rainfall. Managing soil water to attain optimal soil strength for soil trafficability is therefore crucial to ensure timely field operations in ...

Managing soil biodiversity: The New Zealand experience [PDF]
, 2004 Species diversity is a very important component of a healthy soil ecosystem, and a necessary condition for long-term sustainable development. However, it is widely recognised that soil degradation and species extinction are on the increase in New Zealand,

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 ...

NLSS3 Impairs SHM1 Autophagic Degradation to Regulate Leaf Morphology and Salt Tolerance in Rice
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In rice, NLSS3 binds and shields SHM1 from autophagic degradation to maintain serine homeostasis. The A132P mutation in nlss3 disrupts this, triggering SHM1 loss, metabolic dysfunction, K+ imbalance, and impaired ROS scavenging, which collectively drive narrow leaves and salt sensitivity.
