Metabolome transcriptome and antioxidant capacity in Ferula fukanensis roots

Ferula fukanensis is a valuable medicinal and edible plant whose root gum resin is widely used in traditional medicine, but the optimal harvest time remains unclear. Here, we analyzed metabolomes, transcriptomes, and in vitro antioxidant activity of roots at three maturity stages...

Nested star-shaped auxetic metamaterials for high-efficiency energy dissipation

Mechanical metamaterials exhibiting a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) have attracted broad interest due to their anomalous mechanical responses. Conventional star-shaped structures with auxetic effect often suffer from inefficient energy absorption and structural instability under...
