Inspired by the morphologies of xeric plant leaves, we have developed biomimetic liquid crystal elastomer bilayers that can bend, spiral and twist. These adaptive shape morphing structures can twist to improve water collection efficiency and wind resistance, suggesting their potential application in adaptive water collection and directional transportation.

A tactile visual synapse is developed combining the functionalities of tactile sensation with real-time visualization of its activity for efficient in situ health monitoring.

A skin conductance sensor with a water-permeable, micro-lace electrode can be used to continuously monitor daily activities.

Fifty years ago, a spacecraft designed and built by young Indian scientists redefined what a low-income country could achieve.

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing innovation is essential for making monoclonal antibodies affordable and accessible by overcoming critical cost and supply barriers. Importantly, innovation supporting regional production will be required to meet low- and middle-income country health needs and strengthen global resilience against future infectious disease outbreaks.
