Upcycling Disposable Food Plates Based Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Body Motion Sensing and Enhancing Cell Migration
The rapid development of wearable and self-powered technologies has led to high demand for sustainable, low-cost energy-harvesting solutions. In this study, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was fabricated using discarded disposable plates as the positive triboelectric layer and waste nitrile gloves as the negative layer, demonstrating an effective method for converting waste into functional devices. The TENG worked in the single-electrode mode, producing a maximum output voltage of 170 V and

Symmetry-driven gating of TRPM8 by PIP2 and menthol
TRPM8, a cold-activated ion channel, enables mammals to sense cooling agents such as menthol. While PIP2 is essential for menthol-induced activation of TRPM8, the precise cooperative mechanism and the specific binding mode of menthol have remained elusive. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of mouse TRPM8 in diverse conformations, including a PIP2-induced two-fold symmetric intermediate and an icilin-bound open state. Our results reveal that PIP2 binding initiates a symmetry-breaking event, pri

3-DoF Snake Robot Head Stabilization for Visual Navigation Using a Coaxial Spherical Parallel Manipulator
This letter proposes a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) head stabilizer, defined as a compact camera-orientation stage mounted between the snake robot's head link and the onboard monocular camera, based on a coaxial spherical parallel manipulator (CSPM) to enable visual navigation. Visual navigation suits biologically-inspired robots with tight form-factor constraints because it can leverage datasets collected on other platforms and operate with a single monocular camera. However, locomotion

mono-MORP: Monocular Traversability Representation and Motion Planner for Topological Visual Navigation
Topological visual navigation is attractive for biologically-inspired robots because it requires only a monocular camera and can be transferred to robots unseen during training, without dense maps or expensive sensors. Yet many systems rely on waypoint-only open-loop following: even when velocity commands are published at a higher loop rate, the command values are conditioned only on the low-rate waypoint stream and do not incorporate newly observed near-field obstacles. Moreover, waypoint repre

Edge-Server Workload Characterization in Vehicular Computation Offloading: Semantics and Empirical Analysis
Edge server-assisted computation offloading enables vehicles to leverage server compute resources to deliver connected services, overcoming the limitations of onboard resources. Understanding the compute workloads of edge servers is crucial for effective resource management and scheduling, yet this task is challenging due to the complex interplay of factors such as vehicle mobility and computation offloading patterns. To address this, we propose an empirical analysis framework that systematicall

Recent Advances in Ultra-High-Speed Wireline Receivers with ADC-DSP-Based Equalizers
High-speed wireline data transceivers (TRX) with analog-to-digital converter (ADC) followed by digital signal processor (DSP) on the receiver (RX) equalizer became popular for applications requiring >100 Gb/s per-lane data rate over long-reach (LR) channels, especially for datacenter applications. With the digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-based transmitter (TX) including DSP-based TX signal processing, the overall structure of DAC/ADC-DSP-based wireline TRXs became similar to modulator/demodula

A 0.05 mm3 diode-based single charged-particle real-time radiation detector for electron radiotherapy
Real-time radiation monitoring at the single-particle level is an unmet need for electron radiotherapy, especially for dose deposition to targets in motion or critical OARs. We have developed a first-in-class CMOS-based 0.05 mm3 single electron sensitive detector. The chiplet integrates all the requisite electronics. The functionality of the system is verified under 6 and 9 MeV clinical electron beams. Percentage depth vs. pulse-width curves for 6 and 9 MeV beams are measured and verified using

Empirical Analysis of MAVLink Protocol Vulnerability for Attacking Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or the so-called drones, have been used in various applications. In particular, UAVs are used for rescue systems, disaster detection, and military purposes, as well as for leisure and commercial purposes. UAVs that are controlled over networks by ground control stations (GCS) can provide various services with expanded activity area. It is thus of critical importance to investigate the vulnerability of the drone system. In this paper, we focus on UAVs co
