Effects of fertilizer application on the bacterial community and weathering characteristics of typical purple parent rocks

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionRock weathering is a fundamental process that shapes Earth’s topography, soil formation, and other surface processes. However, the mechanisms underlying the influence of fertilizer application on weathering remain poorly understood ...

Hydrogel‐Based Functional Materials: Classifications, Properties, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Conductive hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for smart wearable devices due to their outstanding flexibility, multifunctionality, and biocompatibility. This review systematically summarizes recent progress in their design strategies, focusing on monomer systems and conductive components, and highlights key multifunctional properties such as

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Evidence of hydrological control of Sr behavior in stream water (Strengbach catchment, Vosges mountains, France) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Strontium and particularly 87Sr/86Sr ratios in stream water have often been used to calculate weathering rates in catchments. Nevertheless, in the literature, discharge variation effects on the geochemical behavior of Sr are often omitted or considered ...

Smart Energy–Harvesting Coating for Moisture–Droplets Based on Ionic Diodes and Transistor–Like Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart power‐generating coating is developed to harvest energy from both ambient humidity and impacting liquid droplets. The integrated system delivers sustained open‐circuit voltages of 0.85 V from moisture and up to 36 V from droplets. Its scalable coating architecture enables a continuous power supply for low‐power electronic devices.

Using [delta] ph as a geochemical index of illite neoformation in saprolite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Sal pH is routinely measured for agronomic purposes. When the difference between KCI pH and H2O pH, or ApH, yields positive values, it is used by soil scientists as a classification criterion for identifying anionic subgroups according to the Soil ...

Atmospheric CO2 consumption by continental erosion : present-day controls and implications for the last glacial maximum [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The export of carbon from land to sea by rivers represents a major link in the global carbon cycle. For all principal carbon forms, the main factors that control the present-day fluxes at the global scale have been determined in order to establish global

A High‐Performance and Fully Recyclable Supramolecular Nanofibrous Membrane for Multifunctional Air Filtration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.
