A team of researchers shows that a rare and extreme annular warming pattern in the tropical Pacific, combined with the accumulation of warm water in the upper western Pacific in spring 2026, will collectively drive a super El Niño event toward the end of this year.
A research paper by scientists from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China developed a water-responsive self-curling adhesive conduit to achieve adaptive wrapping and suture-free repair for peripheral nerve injury (PNI).
The new research paper, published on Mar. 27 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed an innovative water-responsive self-curling adhesive conduit inspired by pinecone scale deformation, offering a transformative suture-free solution for PNI repair.
A review paper by scientists from Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Science provided a comprehensive overview of cyborg animals within the framework of animal taxonomy, summarizing the current state of research from a zoological perspective.
The new research paper, published on Mar. 26 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, delivers a systematic, holistic overview of cyborg animals—revolutionary biohybrid robots that merge living organisms innate biological capabilities with artificial electromechanical control, addressing the fundamental limitations of traditional rigid silicon-based robots.
