Friction Shock Absorbers and Reverse Thrust for Fast Multirotor Landing on High‐Speed Vehicles

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 1068-1090, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Typical landing gears of small uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAV) limit their capability to land on vehicles moving at more than 20–50 km/h due to high drag forces, high pitch angles and potentially high relative horizontal velocities. To enable landing at higher speeds, a combination of lightweight friction shock absorbers and reverse thrust ...

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...

Deep learning‐enhanced 3D imaging unveils semaglutide impact on cardiac fibrosis

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 5, Page 1030-1047, March 2026.
Background and Purpose Myocardial fibrosis (MF), a hallmark of structural cardiac remodelling, drives disease progression across most forms of heart failure and plays a central role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Despite its clinical relevance, effective treatments remain scarce.

Reconfigurable Metamirrors Based on Compliant Mechanisms

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 10, 2 February 2026.
Providing the basis for numerous practical applications, the reconfigurability of metadevices is of great importance. Through the integration of controlled mechanical deformation with chiral meta‐atoms, a compliant mechanism based metamirror is demonstrated for active control over the polarization of electromagnetic waves.

3D‐MOF‐Lattice Inspired Programmable Metamaterials Based on Reconfigurable Polyhedral Origami

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
A novel metamaterial design strategy: inspired by MOFs crystal networks, creating reconfigurable modular polyhedral units to overcome the limitations of traditional materials. These modules exhibit adjustable stiffness, bistability, and Poisson's ratio that can be adjusted from negative to positive values.

Disrupting Lipid Raft Microdomains to Block Polyploid Giant Cancer Cell Budding and Enhance Radiotherapy Response

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Radiation induces polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) that regenerate tumors through virus‐like budding. This process depends on a SNCG–FLOT2–CHMP4B signaling axis functioning in lipid raft microdomains. Disrupting these domains using statins or anti‐PCSK9 antibodies blocks PGCC budding, suppresses tumor repopulation, and enhances radiotherapy ...
