Macroscale multimodal imaging reveals ancient painting production technology and the vogue in Greco-Roman Egypt. [PDF]
Macroscale multimodal chemical imaging combining hyperspectral diffuse reflectance (400-2500 nm), luminescence (400-1000 nm), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF, 2 to 25 keV) data, is uniquely equipped for noninvasive characterization of heterogeneous complex ...

The Efficacy of Food‐Grade Substances to Protect Dietary Glutamine From Ruminal Degradation
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the use of four, low cost, food‐grade substances to protect glutamine from microbial degradation in vitro, and subsequently validate their efficacy in vivo. Two in vitro trials were conducted using 250 mL bottles replicated in triplicate to test beeswax‐, paraffin wax‐, zein‐, and rice bran wax ...

Enhancing solar water heater efficiency: A study on heat transfer with phase change material
Solar energy, known for its abundance, affordability, and renewability, plays a crucial role in domestic applications. However, its intermittent nature demands efficient storage systems. This study proposes using beeswax, a low-melting-point phase change

Abstract figure legend There has been controversy about the structural (capillary) response of skeletal muscle to altered O2 status, involving decreased supply (hypoxia) or increased demand (activity). Here we demonstrate that seven days of activation of skeletal muscle by indirect electrical stimulation led to significant expansion of the capillary ...

The Galleria mellonella Hologenome Supports Microbiota-Independent Metabolism of Long-Chain Hydrocarbon Beeswax [PDF]
The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, degrades wax and plastic molecules. Despite much interest, the genetic basis of these hallmark traits remains poorly understood. Herein, we assembled high-quality genome and transcriptome data from G. mellonella

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels
Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...
