Bio-Inspired Approaches-a Leverage for Robotics
The field of bio-inspired approaches (also known as biomimetics or biomimicry) is a design approach in which a product or process is inspired by elements of nature, such as plants or animals. Bio-inspired approaches serve as inspiration and motivation for many engineers and designers in terms of efforts to identify unexpected solutions to problems. These approaches have made great inroads in the aerospace, marine, and automotive industries. The domains of bio-inspiration and bio-mimetics have also been the focus of a number of studies in the field of robotics. There are several examples of their use in the literature, including their implementation in snake-type robots for underwater inspection or in worm-type systems for industrial pipeline inspections. This Special Issue compiles and presents recent advancements in the domain of bio-inspired robotics and their potential applications in industry. This will help researchers from all communities understand the relevance of bio-inspiration in robotics and serve as a platform for the application of these cutting-edge approaches in other fields.

Rad Future
We're running out of time. Fossil fuels are choking the planet and renewable energy isn't cutting it. The solution has been hiding in plain sight all along. Nuclear. When most people hear that word, they go to a very bad place: bombs, Chernobyl, hazmat suits, radioactive fallout... the stuff of nightmares. But what if everything you think you know about nuclear is wrong? In Rad Future, science influencer Isabelle Boemeke shatters the fear and misinformation surrounding this technology and shows how the actual science tells a different story. It turns out that nuclear-generated electricity--nuclear electricity--is our best option for ensuring the future of the planet. Nuclear can power cities, desalinate water, create carbon-free fertilizer, and heat homes, all with the smallest environmental footprint of any energy source. Boemeke exposes how decades of fearmongering, a few dramatic (but preventable) disasters, and relentless bad PR have convinced the world that nuclear is dangerous when it's actually the key to an affordable, sustainable future. We've fumbled the bag on the cleanest, most powerful energy source we have, and it's time to fix that. This isn't your typical science book. Boemeke's signature mix of humor, sass, and deep research makes Rad Future a wild ride through the science, history, and future of nuclear electricity. From Cold War politics to Hollywood-fueled paranoia to cutting-edge reactor designs, she details exactly how nuclear works and why it's our best shot at ending the climate crisis and creating a future of radical abundance. Rad Future is the first truly accessible breakdown of nuclear electricity, and it will leave you feeling stoked about what's possible.

Green Building Design and Construction for a Sustainable Future
According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), buildings and construction together account for 30% of global final energy consumption and 27% of total energy sector emissions. The building sector has been making efforts to reduce carbon emissions for many years. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Given the large amount of new construction every year, it is necessary to significantly increase the proportion of green buildings, including new buildings with green design and construction and the green retrofitting of existing buildings. The green building concept has been around for decades, aiming to reduce the environmental impacts of buildings over their life cycle. Different green building assessment tools have been developed, such as LEED, BREEAM, BEAM Plus, etc., and many buildings have been labelled as green buildings worldwide. However, the number of green buildings is still a small percentage of the existing building stocks. Therefore, it has become necessary to further promote the green concept in future building design and construction by involving different stakeholders. Moreover, the green retrofitting of existing buildings will provide important contributions to achieve net-zero emission goals. New technologies and materials will also bring disruptions for the future development of green buildings.

Phase Change, Interphase Coupling, and Multiphase Transport in Porous Structures
Multiphase flows and phase-change phenomena are often encountered in many engineering systems, such as CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage); the exploitation of oil, natural gas, and other underground resources; the utilization of geothermal energy and hydrogen energy, etc. Multiphase flows refer to the interactive flow of distinct phases, and each phase discriminated by common interfaces in a channel represents a mass or volume of matter. Multiphase flows can occur in single-component or multi-component systems. Possible phase combinations in our Reprint include the following: solid-liquid-gas, where solid particles and gas bubbles are mostly dispersed in liquid; solid-gas, solid-liquid, and liquid-gas, where the volume fraction of one phase is relative to other results for different flow regimes; and phase change and miscibility phenomena involved in a combination of the above. We hope that our Reprint will act as a guide for researchers and engineering technicians.

Artificial Intelligence for Science in Quantum, Atomistic, and Continuum Systems
Decades of artificial intelligence (AI) research have culminated in the renaissance of neural networks under the name of deep learning. Intensive research has led to many breakthroughs in this area, including, for example, ResNet, diffusion and score-based models, attention, transformers, and recently large language models (LLM) and ChatGPT. These developments have led to continuously improved performance for deep models. When coupled with growing computing power and large-scale datasets, deep learning methods are becoming dominant approaches in various fields, such as computer vision and natural language processing. Propelled by these advances, AI has started to advance natural sciences by improving, accelerating, and enabling our understanding of natural phenomena at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, and giving rise to a new area of research known as AI for science (AI4Science). Being an emerging research paradigm, AI4Science is unique in that it is an enormous and highly interdisciplinary area. Thus, a unified and technical treatment of this field is needed, yet challenging.This monograph provides a technically thorough account of a subarea of AI4Science; namely, AI for quantum, atomistic, and continuum systems. These areas aim to understand the physical world from the subatomic (wave functions and electron density), atomic (molecules, proteins, materials, and interactions), to macro (fluids, climate, and subsurface) scales and form an important subarea of AI4Science. A unique advantage of focusing on these areas is that they largely share a common set of challenges, thereby allowing a unified and foundational treatment. A key common challenge is how to capture physics first principles, especially symmetries, in natural systems by deep learning methods. An in-depth yet intuitive account of techniques to achieve equivariance to symmetry transformations is provided. Other common technical challenges, including explainability, out-of-distribution generalization, knowledge transfer with foundation and large language models, and uncertainty quantification, are also discussed. To facilitate learning and education, categorized lists of resources that we found to be useful are provided. The presentation is thorough and unified and it is hoped that this initial effort may trigger more community interests and efforts to further advance AI4Science.
