Nature provides many examples of the benefits of nanoscopic surface structures in areas of adhesion and antifouling. Herein, the design, fabrication, and characterization of liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) films are presented with nanowire surface structures that exhibit tunable stimuli-responsive deformations and enhanced adhesion properties. The LCE films are shown to curl toward the side with the nanowires when stimulated by heat or organic solvent vapors.

We investigated tail-belting (TB), the newly-discovered freeze avoidance behavior among wild rodents. When temperatures dropped to -6 °C, wild mice (Apodemus agrarius and Apodemus flavicollis) were observed curling their tails inward and positioning it on the back. A literature search suggested TB had never been documented, presumably because rodents, especially in the laboratory, are seldomly assayed under cold stress.

Soft robotics has significant interest within the industrial applications due to its advantages in flexibility and adaptability. Nevertheless, its potential is challenged by low stiffness and limited deformability, particularly in large-scale application scenarios such as underwater and offshore engineering. The integration of smart materials and morphing structures presents a promising avenue for enhancing the capabilities of soft robotic systems, especially in large deformation and variations in stiffness.

Elevated near-surface ozone (O) concentrations have surpassed the tolerance limits of plants, significantly impacting crop growth and yield. To mitigate ozone pollution, plants must evolve a rapid and effective defense mechanism to alleviate ozone-induced damage. DNA methylation, as one of the most crucial epigenetic modifications, plays a pivotal role in maintaining gene stability, regulating gene expression, and enhancing plant resilience to environmental stressors.

Article Synopsis
- Plant height in rice is influenced by the OsKAN1-OsYAB5 regulatory complex, which controls gibberellin levels.
- * A mutation in the OsKAN1 gene leads to a semi-dwarf phenotype by disrupting its interaction with OsYAB5, affecting plant growth.
- * Understanding this mechanism offers potential strategies for improving crop architecture and enhancing rice stem development.
