The Interplay of Dispersion and Thermal Shock in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilms

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathological bacterial biofilms formed on medical implants pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their resistance to antibiotics and the host immune response. Eradication of these biofilms by thermal shock has gained increasing attention as a means of eliminating these infections.

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Metasurface Enhanced Photothermal Cement Foam for Robust and High‐Throughput Seawater Desalination

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Schematic of 3D metasurface‐enhanced cement foam for robust and high‐throughput seawater desalination. This study presents a cement‐based solar evaporator (CSE) fabricated in one step via viscoelastic lithography with simple negative pressure. In addition to boosting solar‐to‐vapor conversion efficiency via excellent light‐harvesting capacity, the ...

Three‐Dimensional Highly Thermally Conductive Graphene Blocks by Multiscale Blending and Multistage Pressure Induction

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
An expandable‐thickness graphene block (GPB) with high thermal conductivity synthesized through multiscale blending and multistage pressure induction (MBP) achieves a record thickness of 12.1 mm, which is more than 10 times that of existing graphene materials. The maximum thermal diffusion ability of GPB‐MBP reaches 6.3 W/K, which offers a new approach

Passive Moisture‐Driven Cooling via Low‐Cost and Shape‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Composite Foam for High‐Power Electronics

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A passive moisture‐driven cooling strategy is proposed to effectively manage the heat in high‐power electronic and energy devices, reducing the chip temperature by 37°C, the lithium‐ion battery temperature by 26°C, and the photovoltaic panel temperature by 15°C, thereby to enhance the battery safety and PV efficiency with a low‐cost, shape‐stabilized ...

Nonlinear Active Site Dynamic Behavior Over In Situ Generated Working Zeolites

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The methoxymethyl mechanism over α, β, and γ site ensembles and the dynamic site‐interconversion mechanism reduce the induction period of propylene formation. The methoxymethyl mechanism acts on site ensemble α generating surface methoxy species (SMS), which, through the dynamic site‐interconversion mechanism, lead to SMS on site ensembles β and γ that

A Short‐Cut Design Approach to Evaluate Reboiler Designs in Vapor Recompression Scenarios

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A short‐cut model framework that incorporates mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) requirements into reboiler design is presented, which is particularly beneficial during early process development with limited data or initial feasibility assessments.
