Unravelling the Functional Diversity of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Type III polyketide synthases (T3PKSs) produce diverse compounds of ecological and clinical importance. Here, the activity of 37 fungal T3PKSs was profiled, revealing unexpected products and generating several pharmaceutical precursors. The machine learning model trained on the activity data accurately extrapolates the predictions to other enzymes and ...

Bio‐Inspired Stored Magnetic Energy Actuator with Transient Triggering and Programmable Logic
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bio‐inspired magnetic energy actuator achieves 1.6 m/s transient release—three orders faster than conventional systems—via direct ink writing printed NdFeB/Polydimethylsiloxane composites and environmental locks; biomimetic AND‐gate logic enables sequential cue recognition (e.g., “temperature → rainfall”).
