Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2116-2130, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Study on the Temporal and Spatial Evolution Mechanism of Rotating Cavitation in the First Stage Impeller of LNG Submersible Pump With Two‐Stage Splitter Blades

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 4356-4370, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This study establishes a full‐flow passage numerical model of an LNG submerged pump equipped with two‐stage splitter blades through three‐dimensional modeling. Numerical simulations validated by liquid nitrogen experiments demonstrate that at 1.4 times the design flow rate, the peak efficiency reaches 60.6%, with a maximum head of 194.93 m ...

Multiyear Drought Strengthens Positive and Negative Functional Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Response

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Mixed‐species forests may help trees better cope with increasing drought stress under climate change. We analyzed tree‐ring growth from nearly 1000 trees across 16 species in 9 experimental plantations across Europe to understand how tree diversity influences drought responses.

Durable Low‐Interfacial Toughness PDMS/SiO2 Coatings with Superior Anti‐Icing and Large‐Scale Deicing Performance in the Natural Field

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 16, August 18, 2025.
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 ...

Sono‐Piezo‐Photosynthesis of Ethylene and Acetylene from Bioethanol under Ambient Conditions

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 27, July 3, 2025.
A novel sono‐piezo‐photocatalytic strategy enables the conversion of bioethanol to ethylene (C2H4) and acetylene (C2H2) under ambient conditions, addressing the limitations of conventional methods that are high‐temperature and energy‐intensive. By using an advanced graphene oxide/sodium bismuth titanate heterostructure catalyst, this work achieved ...
