Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Accelerated Materials Discovery Through In Situ X‐ray Diffraction: Solvothermal Formation of PdxMy (M═Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) Intermetallic Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In situ PXRD data on solvothermal reactions accelerate materials discovery while simultaneously providing fundamental insights into complex crystal formation processes. Using PdxMy (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) as an example, a general formation mechanism is identified, and specific synthesis strategies for ex situ preparation of SnPd2, Sn13Pd20, and SnPd ...

Breaking Bottlenecks in Solid Electrolyte Discovery With Large Artificial Intelligence Models

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Large AI models are presented as a route to break key bottlenecks in solid electrolyte discovery by linking materials databases, machine‐learning interatomic potentials, large language models, and autonomous experiments. This perspective highlights how AI can accelerate the identification of solid electrolytes with fast ion transport, stable interfaces,

Holding a stillborn baby : mother's feelings of tenderness and grief

, 2009
Actions by health professionals and the atmosphere surrounding the birth of a stillborn baby may determine the nature of the mother’s contact with her baby. A questionnaire studied mothers’ feelings when holding their stillborn baby.

Improved farrowing rate using intrauterine insemination in sows

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2019
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), a technique that uses a lower number of spermatozoa than conventional artificial insemination (CAI), could contribute to improve reproductive efficiency of boars.

Synthesis of Ti2B2Clx MBenes in Molten Salts From Theoretical and Experimental Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By integrating a theoretical framework with experiments, Ti2InB2 was selectively etched with ZnCl2 to produce a multilayer (ml) Ti2B2Clx MBene. The In atoms are completely removed, with simultaneous incorporation of chlorine surface terminations. in situ x‐ray diffraction indicates a direct biphasic transformation from Ti2InB2 to ml‐MBene, with no ...

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
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.
