Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid metal‐based microrobots combine magnetic steering, intrinsic X‐ray visibility and softness, to navigate blood vessels even against flow. Under clinically relevant magnetic fields, liquid metal microrobots roll along vessel walls, cross endothelial barriers, and accumulate in target tissues.

Drip Irrigation at a Soil Water Suction of 30 kPa Helps AMF and GRSP to Enhance Greenhouse Macro-Aggregates

Agronomy, 2023
Drip irrigation is fundamental in water-saving agricultural greenhouses, especially in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) greenhouses. However, a long-term drip irrigation has been observed to be associated with soil degradation, concerning both soil ...

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

Transfer Patterns and Drivers of Embodied Agricultural Land within China: Based on Multi-Regional Decomposition Analysis

Land, 2021
Agricultural land is fundamental to human survival and economic development. Unlike other resources, land resources are embodied in trade goods and commodities, which are continuously re-allocated between countries and regions.

Mitochondria‐Specific Protein Delivery by Protease‐Triggered Release in Plants with Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated carbon nanotubes were engineered as protease‐responsive nanocarriers for protein delivery in intact plants. GFP cargo can be released by cytosolic phytaspase cleavage and subsequently targeted to mitochondria via an N‐terminal sequence, enabling controlled intracellular protein delivery without tissue damage and demonstrating stable ...

Transformative impact of three decades of nitrogen-based fertilization on diazotrophic communities and co-occurrence patterns in soils of Northeast China

Microbiology Spectrum
Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) is a crucial biogeochemical process on Earth, in which diazotrophs play a significant role. The impact of long-term nitrogen (N) input from fertilization on diazotroph responses remains unclear.

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

A 30-m annual corn residue coverage dataset from 2013 to 2021 in Northeast China

Scientific Data
Crop residue cover plays a key role in the protection of black soil by covering the soil in the non-growing season against wind erosion and chopping for returning to the soil to increase organic matter in the future.
