The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
3D printing flexible electroluminescent devices for soft and self-camouflaging robots
Zhang et al. report a facile and streamlined approach for fabricating electroluminescent devices through multi-materials direct ink writing. Using this fabrication scheme, a chameleon-inspired soft robot with self-adaptive background-matching ability was created.

Arctic climate change paces Antarctic carbon pump
The Southern Westerly Winds store vast volumes of greenhouse gas emissions in the ocean. Worryingly, climate change seems to reduce the effectiveness of this carbon pump. A new study uses hydrogen from fossil leaves to better understand the links between shifts in climate and wind strength.
