Autonomous Spatiotemporal Regulation of Reversible Hydrogel Actuators by Chemical Reaction Networks
Hydrogel actuators with reversible response to thiols are developed using reversible binding of thiols to Michael acceptors. Autonomous spatiotemporal regulation of reversible movement of these hydrogels is achieved using thiol‐based chemical reaction networks containing both positive and negative feedback.

A molecular phylogenetic study of Deschampsia (Poaceae: Aveneae) inferred from nuclear ITS and plastid trnL sequence data: support for the recognition of Avenella and Vahlodea [PDF]
The circumscription and phylogeny of Deschampsia were studied for the first time by parsimony analysis of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid trnL intron sequences.

Ionic epoxy networks are prepared using ammonium salts as hardeners, leading to a two‐stage curing process with a thermoplastic‐like intermediate. This uncommon behavior enables extrusion and fabrication of thermoplastic prepregs that can be cured into thermoset composites.

Genetic and morphological studies of Trichosirocalus species introduced to North America, Australia and New Zealand for the biological control of thistles [PDF]
Trichosirocalus horridus sensu lato has been used as a biological control agent of several invasive thistles (Carduus spp., Cirsium spp. and Onopordum spp.) since 1974.

Photothermal nanodiamonds with quantum sensing capabilities generate lysosome‐confined hyperthermia, enabling simultaneous temperature and radical detection via diamond sensing. This localized thermal and oxidative stress drives pro‐inflammatory (M1) macrophage polarization, revealing a new strategy for precision immunomodulation through subcellular ...

Population Genetic Structure and Species Delimitation of a Widespread, Neotropical Dwarf Gecko [PDF]
Amazonia harbors the greatest biological diversity on Earth. One trend that spans Amazonian taxa is that most taxonomic groups either exhibit broad geographic ranges or small restricted ranges.

The hitchhiker's guide to single‐locus species delimitation
AbstractMolecular approaches to species delimitation are increasingly used to ascertain the number of species in a sample prior to taxonomic, ecological or physiological studies. Although multilocus approaches are gaining fast in popularity, single‐gene methods still predominate in the literature.

Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation
Liquid metal‐based microrobots combine magnetic steering, intrinsic X‐ray visibility and softness, to navigate blood vessels even against flow. Under clinically relevant magnetic fields, liquid metal microrobots roll along vessel walls, cross endothelial barriers, and accumulate in target tissues.

CpDNA-based species identification and phylogeography: application to a complex of African tropical tree species [PDF]
Despite their importance as a hotspot of biodiversity, the history of the African tropical lowland rainforests is poorly known. In particular the respective influence of past climatic factors, environmental heterogeneity and physical barriers on the ...
