City boundaries for global urban water scarcity assessment

Scientific Data
Rapid and continuous urbanization has increased water demand in cities worldwide. Global assessments of urban water scarcity should be conducted using gridded hydrological information, but are hampered by the lack of water-resource-based city boundary ...

A Super‐Adhesive Air Filter With Capillarity‐Mediated Spontaneous Particle Absorption via Dynamic Bond Exchange

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We address the inherently weak particle adhesion of conventional air filters by coating a dynamically crosslinked adhesive layer that delivers capillarity‐driven strong adhesion and particle absorption mediated by dynamic bond exchange. The resulting enhancement in particle adhesion enables efficient ultrafast (up to 20 m s−1) and omnidirectional ...

Conductive Hydrogels for Exogenous Sensing and Cell Fate Control

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We engineer electrically conductive hydrogels by combining sulfated glycosaminoglycans with semiconducting polymers. These hydrogels bind bioactive proteins, including growth factors, whose release or retention can be modulated by low‐voltage stimulation. The hydrogels are also integrated as 3D channels in organic electrochemical transistors as part of

Effect of insoluble surfactants on drainage and rupture of a film between drops interacting under a constant force.

, 2000
The deformation, drainage, and rupture of an axisymmetrical film between colliding drops in the presence of insoluble surfactants under the influence of van der Waals forces is studied numerically at small capillary and Reynolds numbers and small ...

Building irrigation-tailored soil datasets for land suitability assessment in collective irrigation systems

Agricultural Water Management
Reliable soil information is critical for irrigation planning, yet data scarcity and spatial variability often constrain its effective use, particularly in Mediterranean collective irrigation systems (CIS).

Effects of Groundwater Depth on Soil Water and Salinity Dynamics in the Hetao Irrigation District: Insights from Laboratory Experiments and HYDRUS-1D Simulations

Agronomy
The management of groundwater depth (GWD) in alluvial soils under irrigation in arid climates is critical for soil and water conservation, given its influence on salt dynamics and water availability for crops.
