Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Nature, 1882 I HAVE frequently observed that when a shock of any kind is imparted to the leaves or twigs, to which the web of the garden spider is affixed, the animal shakes violently in the centre of the web, so as to become almost or totally invisible to the eye; this quivering or dancing motion being kept up for many seconds, and then suddenly stopped.

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.Inspired by natural light‐harvesting systems, this study computationally investigates a synthetic antenna by arranging cationic free‐base porphyrin molecules on an anionic clay surface. Using a multiscale quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach combined with a multifidelity machine learning method, excitation energies are predicted ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.D‐galactose (D‐gal) induced inner ear hair cell senescence by inhibiting TFEB transcription. RONIN/HCF1 promotes TFEB transcription to prevent cochlear HCs from D‐gal‐induced senescence through autophagy activation. Abstract Age‐related hearing loss is characterized by senescent inner ear hair cells (HCs) and reduced autophagy.

Public DNA barcoding data resolve the status of the genus Arboricaria (Araneae: Gnaphosidae)
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2017 An analysis of public DNA barcoding data confirms that the extraction of Arboricaria Bosmans, 2000 from the genus Micaria Westring, 1851 would require the division of Micaria into at least five (and probably more) individual genera, to restore the ...
