•Vitrimer-based soft actuator is thermosetting, robust, healable, and recyclable•Soft can be self-healed by five stimuli (heat, light, electricity, etc.)•Soft respond to four (light, solvent, heat) Just like many living organisms in nature, which have both self-adaptive responsiveness self-healing abilities multiple environmental for survival, actuators are also expected endowed with these two ...

Emerging coherent X-ray scattering patterns of single-particles have shown dominant morphological signatures in agreement with predictions of the scattering model used for conventional protein crystallography. The key question is if and to what extent these scattering patterns contain volumetric information, and what model can retrieve it. This contribution is Part 2 out of two reports, in whic...

Transmembrane lipid transporters are believed to establish and maintain the phospholipid asymmetry in biological membranes; however, little is known about the in vivo function of the specific transporters involved. Here we report that developing erythrocytes from mice lacking the putative phosphatidylserine (PS) flippase, ATP11C showed a lower rate of PS translocation in vitro compared to eryth...

The two main stability results for nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems are revisited: Nekhoroshev theorem, concerning exponential lower bounds for the stability time (effective stability), and KAM theorem, concerning the preservation of a majority of the nonresonant invariant tori (perpetual stability). To stress the relationship between both theorems, a common approach is given to their proo...
