Embodied intelligence in soft robotics offers unprecedented capabilities for operating in uncertain, confined, and fragile environments that challenge conventional technologies. However, achieving true embodied intelligence-which requires continuous environmental sensing, real-time control, and autonomous decision-making-faces challenges in energy management and system integration. We developed deformation-resilient flexible batteries with enhanced performance under magnetic fields inherently present in magnetically actuated soft robots, with capacity retention after 200 cycles improved from 31.

Refeeding syndrome (RFS), which is often underdiagnosed, is a preventable condition that can be fatal if not managed early. It may occur after nutrition is reintroduced in malnourished patients or those who have experienced a prolonged reduction in food intake. As a result of the metabolic shift from a catabolic to an anabolic state, RFS is characterized by electrolyte disturbances and vitamin deficiencies, which can lead to severe clinical complications.

Ectopia cordis is an exceptionally uncommon congenital condition where the heart develops outside its normal position due to incomplete closure of the ventral chest wall during embryogenesis. The anomaly may occur in isolation or with other structural defects, often resulting in a poor prognosis despite advancements in medical and surgical care. This report discusses a preterm neonate delivered at 33 weeks of gestation following an uneventful pregnancy in a dizygotic twin gestation.
