Maya Blue‐Inspired Hybrid Coating for Robust and Superhydrophilic Solar Evaporators Using Commercial Black Acrylic Paint

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a Maya blue‐inspired hybrid solar evaporator using commercial black acrylic paint, achieving 98% solar‐thermal conversion efficiency and 2.39 kg m−2 h−1 water evaporation rate through a durable, hydrophilic organic–inorganic structure that enables scalable, cost‐effective desalination and wastewater purification.

Ti6Al4V‐Bioglass‐Copper Composites for Load‐Bearing Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We have designed and manufactured a novel Ti64‐based composite by adding 45S5 bioglass (BG) and copper (Cu). Adding BG on titanium improves wear resistance and biocompatibility, whereas Cu addition improves mechanical strength while providing inherent lifelong bacterial resistance.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Image retrieval by hypertext links [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This paper presents a model for retrieval of images from a large World Wide Web based collection. Rather than considering complex visual recognition algorithms, the model presented is based on combining evidence of the text content and hypertext ...
