Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

Bifidobacterium Pseudolongum‐Derived Inosine Mitigates Polystyrene Nanoplastics‐Induced Hepatic Injury by Inhibiting the Polarization of M1 Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Probiotic B.p colonization elevated gut‐derived inosine level in the liver, while elevated inosine activated A2AR and subsequently blocked NPs‐induced polarization of M1 macrophages by repressing the miR155/SOCS1/NF‐κB pathway. This reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines and thereby, mitigated NPs‐induced hepatic injury.

A normalised seawater strontium isotope curve: possible implications for Neoproterozoic-Cambrian weathering rates and the further oxygenation of the Earth [PDF]

, 2007
The strontium isotope composition of seawater is strongly influenced on geological time scales by changes in the rates of continental weathering relative to ocean crust alteration.

ML Workflows for Screening Degradation‐Relevant Properties of Forever Chemicals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The environmental persistence of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) necessitates efficient remediation strategies. This study presents physics‐informed machine learning workflows that accurately predict critical degradation properties, including bond dissociation energies and polarizability.

Adaptive and Highly Efficient Thermoregulation Based on Multi‐Dimensional Janus Film

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A switchable TiO2/MXene/PDMS Janus membrane enables dual‐mode radiative cooling and solar heating, achieving sub‐ambient cooling of 17.89°C and above‐ambient heating of 13.82°C. Adaptive temperature regulation was demonstrated with a low power integrated autonomous smart curtain system, providing a sustainable and energy‐efficient alternative for ...

Chemical weathering proxies: An assessment of their robustness to reconstruct Paleozoic climate conditions

Evolving Earth
Several chemical weathering proxies for siliciclastic sedimentary deposits have been proposed over the last fifty years. However, only a few studies have evaluated their robustness for paleoclimate interpretation.
