The research team found that the supplementation of n-3 fatty acids significantly enhances lactation performance even in non-inflammatory states, suggesting the existence of an unexplored direct regulatory mechanism.

A research paper by scientists at University of Southern Denmark presented a multimodal limbless crawling soft robot capable of navigating complex terrains using a combination of rectilinear motion and asymmetric steering gaits.

The research paper was published on Jun. 9, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

Two-dimensional (2D) metals, similar to graphene, are one-atom-thick elemental metals that exhibit unique properties due to their ultrathin structure. Unlike graphene, metals have nondirectional metallic bonds, making exfoliation from 3D bulk metals difficult without a layered structure. The concept of 2D metals has been extended to include a few-layer thickness, akin to few-layer graphene. 2D metals, such as antimonene (Sb) and stanene (Sn), offer significant potential for applications that require large specific surface areas, such as in electronics, electrochemistry, and catalysis, due to their enhanced surface and edge conductivity, quantum optics, and plasmonic properties.

Typhoons and their Atlantic counterparts—hurricanes—can develop into massively destructive storms that can take a severe toll on both infrastructure and human life. To date, collecting in situ tropical cyclone data has been too dangerous and cost prohibitive to routinely collect on a larger scale. Researchers have just developed a submersible vehicle, the “Blue Whale,” designed to withstand the adverse conditions of these storms and collect the in situ data necessary for more accurate typhoon intensity forecasts and marine condition warnings.
