Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

A Microfiber‐Reinforced Janus Hydrogel E‐Skin With Recyclable Feature for Multimodal Sensing and Gender‐Specific Physiological Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based wearable electronics hold great promise for physiological monitoring in privacy‐sensitive regions. In this study, a polyurethane (PU) microfiber‐reinforced gelatin hydrogel e‐skin is developed, boasting multiple advantages such as ultra‐thinness, high toughness, and long‐term skin conformability.

Reversible Stress‐memory Phosphorescent Carbon Nanodots via Supramolecular Confinement Engineering for Aerospace Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A kind of new CNDs‐based materials with reversible mechano‐responsive phosphorescence emission through incorporating CNDs into the supramolecular rigid network is leveraged for aerospace applications, where the CND‐embedded film demonstrated memorable visualization of stress distribution in wings under sudden mechanical events (e.g., micro‐impacts ...

Post‐Translational Modifications in Animal Circadian Clocks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Circadian clocks coordinate physiology with daily environmental cycles through conserved transcriptional–translational feedback loops. This review summarizes how post‐translational modifications fine‐tune clock function, highlights the evolutionary convergence of circadian timekeeping in Drosophila and mammals, and emphasizes the central of these ...
