The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

MXene 3D‐AJP: Three‐Dimensional Well‐Oriented Freeform Networks of 2D MXene Nanosheets via Aerosol‐Based 3D Printing

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This study presents an additive‐free aerosol jet 3D printing technique for assembling 2D MXene nanosheets into complex, customizable, high‐aspect‐ratio 3D microarchitectures without binders. By leveraging real‐time ink thickening, the authors also fabricate 3D microsupercapacitors with interdigitated electrodes that holds breakthrough device areal ...

Assessment of Soiling Dynamics and Cleaning Efficiency for Photovoltaic Modules Under Different Dust Environments

open access: yesSolar RRL, EarlyView.
A laboratory framework reproduces site‐specific soiling and cleaning dynamics of photovoltaic modules using real dusts from contrasting climates. Accelerated humidity–temperature cycling replicates 1 month of outdoor cementation in only ≈ 1.5 days.

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

From Tensor Equations to Numerical Code -- Computer Algebra Tools for Numerical Relativity

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper we present our recent work in developing a computer-algebra tool for systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), termed "Kranc". Our work is motivated by the problem of finding solutions of the Einstein equations through numerical ...
