From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

Water‐Efficient Smart Drip Irrigation Enabled by a Low‐Power and High‐Efficiency Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.

Evaluation of Corrosion Fatigue Behaviour of Laser-welded NiTi Alloys using Bending Rotation Fatigue Test in Simulated Body Fluid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Shape memory NiTi alloys have been used extensively for medical device applications such as orthopedic, dental, vascular and cardiovascular devices on account of their unique shape memory effect (SME) and super-elasticity (SE).

Effect of electro discharge machining (EDM) on the AISI316L SS white layer microstructure and corrosion resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The localised corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels is strongly influenced by the quality of finished surface. EDM machining induces substantial changes by the high thermal gradients generated by electric sparks.

Superelastic High‐Entropy Oxide Ceramic Aerogels for Thermal Superinsulation and Sealing at Extreme Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐entropy oxide ceramic of (Gd1/2Lu1/2)2(Ti1/3Zr1/3Hf1/3)2O7 is prepared through a molecular synthesis route of pyrolytic solid‐solution reactions. The architectured nanofiber aerogel manifests unprecedented thermomechanical properties, including superelastic compressibility of 98% from −196 to 1500 °C, and thermal superinsulation capacity (24.14 ...

Achieving Fast Charging and Superior Cycling Stability Single‐Crystal Ni‐Rich Cathodes by Ultrafast Aqueous Washing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Prolonged water washing severely damages the surface layered structure of single‐crystal Ni‐rich cathodes, forming a thick rock‐salt barrier. In contrast, our 3‐min ultrafast washing removes residual lithium while confining surface reconstruction to an ultrathin 2–4 nm layer, thereby unlocking excellent fast‐charging and cycling stability.
