Investigating Social Immunity in Swarming Locusts via a Triple Animal–Robot–Pathogen Hybrid Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Soft Robots Proprioception Through Stretchable Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the potential of laser‐induced graphene and silicone sensors for soft pneumatic grippers’ proprioception. The sensors are thin, stretchable, mechanically transparent, and easy to integrate. Finite‐element method analysis identifies the finger's neutral bending plane and four sensor positions are tested to validate the ...

Climate‐change‐driven shifts in C3 and C4 grass distributions and leaf traits could lead to changes in community‐level flammability

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change poses challenges to grasslands, including those of the North American Great Plains Region, where shifts in species distributions and fire dynamics are expected. Our present analysis focuses on remaining grasslands within this largely developed and agricultural region. The differential responses of C4 and C3 grass species

Synthesis of Crosslinked Biopolyesters Catalyzed by Natural Amino Acids

open access: yesAsian Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Highly crosslinked bio‐polyesters were synthesized via the ROCOP reaction between epoxidized sunflower oil and biobased cyclic anhydrides. The resulting materials were comprehensively characterized by FT‐IR, TGA, and DSC. A cross‐linked network in the bio‐based polymers has been confirmed by dynamic mechanical analysis.
