Fundamentals of organic agriculture [PDF]
, 2008 Organic agriculture can be traced back to the early 20th century, initiated by the Austrian spiritual philosopher Rudolf Steiner. It was later diversified by a number of key people, and more recent versions are guided by principles issued by the ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Unique nanopillar metasurfaces are fabricated for the purpose of sensitive detection to refractive index changes in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The addition of these nanoparticles to the surface of the silicon nanopillars is facilitated via a novel antibiotic‐mediated linker system to promote localized surface plasmon effects resulting from Mie

Surface Functionalized Ti3CNTx MXene for Monitoring Sweat pH with Superhydrophobic Protection
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The highly sensitive, stable, and superhydrophobic pH sensor is made by functionalizing the Ti3CNTx MXene surface with fluoroalkyl silane grafting. This strategy is expected to push forward the application of MXene in sweat pH sensing in the near future. Abstract Real‐time tracking of metabolites, ions, and biomarkers in sweat using wearable sensors is

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Low‐interfacial toughness PDMS/SiO2 coatings are applied to aluminum substrates and tested under natural high‐altitude conditions. The coatings demonstrate strong anti‐icing, icephobic, and large‐scale deicing performance. Field results highlight delayed freezing, reduced ice adhesion, and stable durability, offering practical insights into the use of ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...
