In an exciting breakthrough, researchers have developed a high-order finite element model to analyze the hygrothermal static responses of porous, multidirectional nanofunctionally graded piezoelectric (NFGP) plates. These plates, featuring variable thickness and supported by elastic foundations, hold immense promise for the future of smart, multifunctional materials. The study investigates how factors like porosity, material grading, and boundary conditions influence their bending, deflection, and electric potential. This research offers crucial insights that could revolutionize the design and performance of intelligent structures in aerospace, biomedical, and energy-harvesting applications.

A significant discovery has identified a missing "gatekeeper" protein as the root cause of dry mouth in Sj枚gren's syndrome 鈥� a finding that could change the way the disease is treated. Researchers pinpointed tricellulin, a protein that helps seal the junctions between saliva gland cells, as the key factor. When inflammation damages tricellulin, saliva production stops and harmful substances leak through.

Body signals such as heartbeat and breathing accompany us constantly, often unnoticed as background noise of our perception. Even in the earliest years of life, these signals are important as they contribute to the development of self-awareness and identity. However, until know little has been known about whether and how babies can perceive their own body signals. A recent study from Wiener Kinderstudien Lab at the University of Vienna demonstrates for the first time that babies as young as 3 months can perceive their own heartbeat. In addition, the team, headed by researchers from the University of Vienna, together with colleagues from the University of Potsdam and Royal Holloway University of London, also investigated for the first-time infants鈥� perception of their own breathing and found developments during the first two years of life. The results are now published in the prestigious journal eLife.
