A mechanical route for cooperative transport in autonomous robotic swarms
Experiments in cooperative transport
Stochastic self-propelled robots were built following a modified bristle bot design36,38,40,44. A robot (sizing 5–6 cm in diameter) is driven by two vibration motors mounted on a tripod with one stiff leg…

Large-vocabulary segmentation for medical images with text prompts
In this section, we first describe the two types of data collected to build SAT: multimodal domain knowledge (Section “Domain knowledge”) and medical segmentation data (Section “Segmentation dataset”). Based on them, we detail the…

A dataset of spatially resolved transcriptomics of post-natal cardiac development in mice
Animals
In this study, wild-type C57BL/6J mice at three post-natal developmental stages, including post-natal day 0 (P0), post-natal day 7 (P7), and post-natal day 56 (P56) were used. The mice were supplied by Chengdu Gempharmatech Co. and housed…

High-throughput DNA repair monitoring in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggests SSB- and DSB-induced chromatin reconfiguration
Plasmid construction
Plasmids used in this study are listed in table S2. The new plasmids were constructed by Gibson assembly58 or by standard restriction and ligation using T4 ligase (M0202, NEB). Gibson fragments were amplified by polymerase…

Air taxis will soon be in our skies — if batteries can be made safer
Batteries are already powering electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads. But they are yet to transform aviation. Although some electric passenger planes are being prototyped, commercial uses are a decade away. The low-altitude economy is, however,…
