Tuning Colloidal Stability and Photothermal Conversion Efficiency of Graphite Nanofluids via Anionic‐Nonionic Surfactant Engineering

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Graphite nanofluids were stabilized using a mixed SDS/Tween 80 surfactant system. The optimized formulation exhibited enhanced colloidal stability, red‐shifted UV–Vis absorption, and improved photothermal conversion under solar irradiation. Achieving stable dispersion of graphite flakes (GFs) in aqueous media remains a critical challenge in developing ...

Numerical Analysis and Optimization of a Continuous‐Flow pH‐TRC for Steady‐State Low‐Grade Waste Heat Recovery

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A steady‐state numerical model is established for a continuous‐flow pH‐TRC for low‐grade waste heat recovery. Based on carbonate and bicarbonate electrolytes, the influences of operating conditions and electrode structure on pH‐driven power generation are clarified.

Effect of Microchannel Geometry on Nanoparticle Deposition in Nanofluid Flow

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study numerically analyzed nanoparticle deposition in microchannels with varying geometries. Deposition per unit area decreases significantly with increasing bend angle (28.612 to 8.941 between 30° and 120°) and bend radius (11.922 to 4.769 between 0.2 and 0.4 mm). Acute bends and small radii enhance centrifugal forces and flow separation, leading

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

New Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method for Modeling Heat Transfer Problems Considering Temperature‐Dependent Properties

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Several engineering problems involve the need to model conjugate heat transfer processes considering the temperature‐dependence of the material properties. Consequently, a simulation tool capable of modeling this process is of great interest. In this context, the present work proposes a thermal lattice Boltzmann method (TLBM) for modeling the ...

Intercomparison of a Regional Climate Model Ensemble for Selected European Catchments

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyzes a regional climate model ensemble for water cycle and water resource research with two models. Results show that ICON generally outperforms TSMP1 simulations, mainly with 2‐m temperature and precipitation. These findings serve as a baseline evaluation that shows how key structural differences influence the model skill.

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

River Ice Processes Modelling: A Comprehensive Review

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River ice strongly influences hydrology, hydrodynamics, and ecosystems in cold regions, with an impact on flooding, hydropower generation, navigation, and aquatic habitats. Modeling river ice processes is therefore essential for both scientific understanding and operational management.

3D‐Printed Milli‐Fluidic Mixing‐Extrusion Platform for Continuous, High‐Throughput LNP Production

Small, EarlyView.
We report a continuous high‐throughput production of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) by integrating a reusable 3D‐printed milli‐fluidic split‐and‐recombine mixer with inline membrane extrusion. The 3D architecture enables rapid early‐stage mixing, reducing clogging and fouling, while inline extrusion further refines the as‐formed LNPs, improving uniformity,
