Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Why are most aquatic plants widely distributed? Dispersal, clonal growth and small-scale heterogeneity in a stressful environment [PDF]

, 2002
Non-marine aquatic vascular plants generally show broad distributional ranges. Climatic factors seem to have limited effects on their distributions, besides the determination of major disjunctions (tropical-temperate-subarctic).

Wild and globally traded ornamental aquatic plants harbor diverse plant viruses, including notable crop pathogens

Environmental Microbiome
Background Aquatic plants play key roles in ecosystems, serving as primary producers and providing habitat for other aquatic life. While many are ecologically important, some invasive species, often introduced through the ornamental plant trade, pose ...

Moisture‐Adaptive Triboelectric Materials and Platforms: Design Strategies, Performance Enhancement, and Applications in Energy Harvesting and Wearable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review summarizes moisture‐adaptive strategies that enable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to operate across diverse moisture conditions. It examines moisture‐management methods, including exclusion, directional transport, removal, and utilization, with charge‐regulation approaches based on interfacial, dielectric, and structural engineering.

Chitin‐Chitosan Cryogels for the Reversible Sequestration and Recovery of Heavy Metals From Wastewater

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...
