Two Virginia high school students have discovered how sea anemones respond to salinity changes caused by hurricane rainfall. As hurricanes worsen due to climate change, this important information could help conservation efforts and inspire advocacy efforts. The research was shared in a paper published in Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research on October 7.

A research paper by scientists at Cortical Labs investigate the complex network dynamics of in vitro neural systems using DishBrain, which integrates live neural cultures with high-density multi-electrode arrays in real-time, closed-loop game environments..

The research paper, published on Aug 4, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

A research paper by scientists at the Capital Medical University evaluated sex differences in stroke recurrence among patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) and assess the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) in the RICA (chronic remote ischemic conditioning in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis) trial.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 6 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, evaluated 3,033 sICAS patients across 84 Chinese stroke centers, with a median follow-up of 3.5 years. The findings highlight the need to consider sex in clinical decision-making for RIC administration.

A research paper by scientists at the City University of Hong Kong proposed a hybrid model-based and online data-driven control method for a tendon-driven continuum robot, which requires no prior dataset collection or training. The method incorporates the Jacobian derived from the piecewise constant curvature model with online Jacobian error compensation using a Kalman filter.

The new research paper, published on Aug. 7 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented an approach eliminates the need for offline dataset collection and training. Experiments conducted on a planar continuum manipulator demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving tracking accuracy for both position and attitude. Additionally, the effects of various model parameters are analyzed through comparative experiments.
