A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Mechanistic Insights Into Cellulose Dissolution in Solvents for Advanced Industrial Applications: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cellulose dissolution is important for various industries, including textiles, bioplastics, foods and pharmaceuticals, yet achieving efficient dissolution remains challenging. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional solvents due to their low toxicity, biodegradability and sustainability.

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study
