Hydrophobic eutectic solvent‐engineered membranes for highly permeable, selective, and antifouling pharmaceutical removal from municipal wastewater

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Single‐step incorporation of a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) into polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes via non‐solvent induced phase separation creates selective, antifouling membranes for pharmaceutical removal. The HDES nanodomains enhance permeability, electrostatic interactions, and adsorption affinity, enabling efficient and ...

Interfacial Solvent Molecular Engineering via High‐Safety Dense Separators for High‐Rate Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The dense PPS‐separator prevents thermal runaway by allowing electron transfer through the steel needle during penetration, while the residual electrolyte enables brief ion migration and Joule heating, causing rapid electrolyte vaporization, collapse of the ion transport network, and a sharp drop in ionic conductivity.

Critical Review on the Molecular Behavior of Surfactants at the Oil–Water Interface During Oil Displacement

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review systematically explores the molecular behavior of diverse surfactants (anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric) at the oil–water interface through molecular dynamics simulations. It highlights their roles in reducing interfacial tension, altering interfacial structure, and enhancing oil recovery efficiency.

Electronic jelly: Engineering the mechanics of hydrogels for flexible electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
By unifying mechanical reinforcement strategies—double networks, structural ordering, and dynamic interactions—this review demonstrates how engineered hydrogels can transcend their fragility to achieve the strength, toughness, and reliability required for flexible electronics, including wearable sensors, energy devices, and soft robotic systems ...

Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Potassium‐Doped Borophane Nanosheets: A Multifunctional Platform for Reversible Hydrogen Storage and Metal‐Free Hydrogen Transfer

Small, EarlyView.
Borophane in dual roles: as a reductant in the conversion of levulinic acid to γ‐valerolactone and as a reversible hydrogen reservoir through partial rehydrogenation. ABSTRACT 2D borophene has long been proposed as a promising hydrogen storage material, but experimental demonstrations remain limited to boron hydride sheets derived from MgB2.

Breaking the ORR Trade‐Off via Mg‐Steered Fe‐N4 Pyridinic Conversion

Small, EarlyView.
A Mg‐assisted sacrificial templating strategy is developed to selectively regulate the coordination environment of Fe–N4 sites. This approach induces an active site conversion from S1 to S2, enabling enhancement of oxygen reduction activity and durability. ABSTRACT Single‐atom Fe sites coordinated by pyrrolic nitrogen (Fe‐Npyrr‐C) are highly active for

The Control–Entropy Paradox: Modeling the Thermodynamic Limits of Environmental Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental governance often seeks to reduce disorder, yet the energetic and material costs of control are overlooked. This article presents the Control–Entropy Paradox, developing a formal systems model and a conceptual extension of governance theory.

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...
