Characterizing the Distribution and Behavior of Sperm Whales, Physeter macrocephalus, Over the Otago Submarine Canyons, New Zealand

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) play an important role in marine ecosystems as top predators, nutrient vectors, and indicators of ecosystem health. In Aotearoa New Zealand, sperm whales remain largely understudied other than at Kaikōura, a foraging area for males.

Strain, procedures, and tools for reproducible genetic transformation and genome editing of the emerging plant model Spirodela polyrhiza

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 735-756, April 2026.
Summary Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) have excellent potential for fundamental and applied research due to ease of cultivation, small size, and continuous fast clonal growth. However, their usage as model organisms and platforms for biotechnological applications is often limited by the lack of universal genetic manipulation methods necessary for transgene ...

In Vivo Skin 3‐D Surface Reconstruction and Wrinkle Depth Estimation Using Handheld High Resolution Tactile Sensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, 20 March 2026.
A compact handheld GelSight probe reconstructs in vivo 3‐D skin topography with micron‐level precision using a custom elastic gel and a learning‐based surface normal to height map pipeline. The device quantifies wrinkle depth across various body locations and detects changes in wrinkle depth following moisturizer application.

Multiphysics‐Driven Assembly of Biomimetic Vesicles

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
Artificial extracellular vesicles, derived from cell membranes, are manufactured using a multiphysics‐integrated microfluidic platform that combines nanoknife membrane rupture, herringbone chaotic mixing, and acoustothermal modulation. This standardizable workflow enables the predictable control of vesicle formation and therapeutic loading, while ...

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

New Species of Babinskaiidae (Insecta: Neuroptera) From the Mid‐Cretaceous of Myanmar and the Morphological Divergence of the Family Across the Cretaceous

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Two new species of Babinskaiidae are reported from the mid‐Cretaceous of Myanmar and the morphological divergence of the family across the Cretaceous is quantified. The Babinskaiidae assemblages from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation and the Upper Cretaceous Kachin amber are separated by a pronounced morphological divergence in both overall size and
