  • Active underwater electrolocation method with PSO-based adaptive threshold estimation 12. May 2025
    Target detection and localization are essential capabilities for underwater vehicles to perceive and understand the underwater environment. In turbid, dark and semi-enclosed waters, such as underwater caves, acoustic and optical sensing devices face serious problems of reverberation and attenuation of the detection range, respectively. Weakly electric fish use their electric organ in the tail to […]

  • Bio-inspired multimodal soft grippers: a review 8. May 2025
    In nature, organisms have evolved diverse grasping mechanisms to perform vital functions such as hunting and self-defence. These time-tested biological structures, including the arms of octopuses and the trunks of elephants, offer valuable inspiration for designing multimodal soft grippers that can tackle diverse tasks in various environments. Similar to their biological counterparts, these grippers must […]

  • Bioinspired adaptive visual servoing control for quadrotors 8. May 2025
    Since every flight ends in a landing and every landing is a potential crash, deceleration during landing is one of the most critical flying maneuvers. Here we implement a recently-discovered insect visual-guided landing strategy in which the divergence of optical flow is regulated in a step-wise fashion onboard a quadrotor for the task of visual […]

  • Institutionalizing politicized science | Science 8. May 2025
    The opening months of the Trump administration represent a historic disruption to America’s scientific agencies. Staff have been fired or reassigned in the name of efficiency, resulting in chaos. Grants have been canceled mid-project for featuring the wrong words. “Pauses” and “reviews” are designed to block spending, in the hope that Congress will make the […]
  • Bespoke plant glycoconjugates for gut microbiota-mediated drug targeting | Science 1. May 2025
    The gut microbiota of mammals possess unique metabolic pathways with untapped therapeutic potential. Using molecular insights into dietary fiber metabolism by the human gut microbiota, we designed a targeted drug delivery system based on bespoke ...
  • Aberrant basal cell clonal dynamics shape early lung carcinogenesis | Science 1. May 2025
    Preinvasive squamous lung lesions are precursors of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The cellular events underlying lesion formation are unknown. Using a carcinogen-induced model of LUSC with no added genetic hits or cell type bias, we find that ...
