Design of Two‐Segment Constant‐Force Compliant Mechanisms via Stiffness‐Matched Parallel Integration
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.This work presents a novel design for two‐segment constant‐force compliant mechanisms that achieve dual‐stage zero‐stiffness via stiffness‐matched parallel integration. Experimental results demonstrate constant forces of 4 N and 20 N with less than 5% variation, enabling extended operational ranges for precision applications such as robotic ...

Mechanical Strength: An Unrecognised Target in the Genetic Improvement of Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4190-4203, June 2026.ABSTRACT Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial agronomic trait influencing planting density and crop yield. Previous research highlighted the importance of cellular variations in the ligular region for determining LA, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.
