Do Strong Bars Exhibit Strong Noncircular Motions?
Galactic bars induce characteristic motions deviating from pure circular rotation, known as noncircular motions. As bars are nonaxisymmetric structures, stronger bars are expected to show stronger noncircular motions.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

We probe galactic-scale outflows in star-forming galaxies at z ≳ 2.5 drawn from the JWST/NIRSpec AURORA program. For the first time, we directly compare outflow properties from the early Universe to the present day using near-UV absorption lines.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

An H I Study of a Large Sample of Ultradiffuse Galaxies
By crossmatching the Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes) catalog with the FASHI and ALFALFA H i surveys, we construct an H i -detected sample of 112 ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) and 48 low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies ...

A survey of the interstellar medium in early-type galaxies. III. Stellar and gas kinematics [PDF]
We present gaseous and stellar kinematics for 14 gas-rich early-type galaxies. Half of the sample exhibit irregular gaseous velocity profiles ; gas/star counter-rotation is visible in Ðve galaxies.

Where are the Population III Star Relics in the Simulated Milky Way Analogs?
Using six Milky Way analogs with two different numerical resolutions from the Auriga simulation, we investigate the total mass, spatial distribution, and kinematics of the Population III (Pop III) star relics in the Milky Way analogs at z = 0.
