Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Meta‐GWAS of Pig Semen Quality Traits Reveals Conserved Genes Regulating Mammalian Fertility
This study incorporated 14 210 individuals to perform a GWAS meta‐analysis of six semen quality traits. The GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 234 GWAS loci associated with semen quality traits. The incorporation with a functional genomics resource explains potential genetic regulation of ∼40% GWAS signals underlying semen quality traits.

Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is introduced as a narrow‐bandgap, biodegradable semiconductor for transient electronics. RF‐sputtered and annealed Mg2Si thin films show high intrinsic electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity. The polycrystalline material undergoes hydrolysis in aquatic and composting environments with minimal cytotoxicity ...

Evaluating Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Impact on Crop Indemnities
ABSTRACT The 2018 Farm Bill established the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP), which was focused on removing feral hogs and restoring damaged property. We conduct a quasi‐experimental analysis of FSCP on crop damage using crop insurance data and a staggered difference‐in‐difference model.

Impacts of variable‐rate potassium fertilization on corn and soybean yield and soil‐test variability
Abstract Variable‐rate (VR) technology allows for changing nutrient rates within fields. This study compared VR and uniform‐rate (UR) potassium (K) fertilization for corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations. Grid soil‐sampling (0.1–0.3 ha cells), global positioning systems (GPS), and yield monitors were used to establish multiyear ...
