- Analysis and actuation design of a novel at-scale 3-DOF biomimetic flapping-wing mechanism inspired by flying insects 29. November 2024Insects’ flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unsteady aerodynamics and enhancing lift force. To achieve the flapping-twisting-sweeping motion capability, this paper proposes an at-scale three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) mechanism driven by three piezoelectric […]Liang Wang, Hongzhi Zhang, Longlong Zhang, Bifeng Song, Zhongchao Sun and Wenming Zhang

- Group cohesion and passive dynamics of a pair of inertial swimmers with three-dimensional hydrodynamic interactions 28. November 2024When swimming animals form cohesive groups, they can reap several benefits. Our understanding of collective animal motion has traditionally been driven by models based on phenomenological behavioral rules, but more recent work has highlighted the critical importance of hydrodynamic interactions among a group of inertial swimmers. To study how hydrodynamic interactions affect group cohesion, we […]Mohamed Niged Mabrouk and Daniel Floryan

- Natural selection could determine whether Acropora corals persist under expected climate change | Science 28. November 2024Marine heatwaves are intensifying under climate change, exposing populations of reef-building corals to mass mortality and intense selective pressure. It remains unknown whether adaptation can keep pace with warming and maintain reef functioning. We have ...
- A panoramic view of cell population dynamics in mammalian aging | Science 28. November 2024To elucidate aging-associated cellular population dynamics, we present PanSci, a single-cell transcriptome atlas profiling over 20 million cells from 623 mouse tissues across different life stages, sexes, and genotypes. This comprehensive dataset reveals ...
- Rapid in silico directed evolution by a protein language model with EVOLVEpro | Science 21. November 2024Directed protein evolution is central to biomedical applications but faces challenges like experimental complexity, inefficient multi-property optimization, and local maxima traps. While in silico methods using protein language models (PLMs) can provide ...

- Where in the world is there potential for tropical-forest regeneration? 29. November 2024Nature, Published online: 29 November 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-03920-2To restore tropical forests at scale requires cost-effective methods. An estimated 215 million hectares — an area larger than that of Mexico — have potential for natural forest regeneration, which could lead to an estimated above-ground sequestration of 23.4 gigatonnes of carbon over 30 years.
