Photo‐Activated Merging Cascades in Droplet Swarms Upon Synergistic Solvation of Surfactants

Small, EarlyView.
UV activates the motility of UV‐responsive droplets through a decylammonium/carbamate crystalline layer at the air/water interface. Upon merging with immobilized C12E3 surfactant droplets in the layer, hybrid droplets form which dissolve the layer due to synergistic solvation. In large droplet fields, this non‐linear behavior drives cascading events of

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

Tailoring Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Post‐Processing Parameters for JIS SKD61 Tool Steels: Surface Roughness, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser powder bed fusion of JIS SKD61 tool steel is systematically optimized using a Taguchi design and ANOVA. Hatch spacing and layer thickness are identified as dominant parameters controlling surface roughness and tensile strength. Subsequent tempering at 600°C improves microstructural stability and mechanical performance, enabling high‐density SKD61

Care Praxis–Driven STEM Design for Sustainable and Just Communities in Middle School

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the growing interest in incorporating care ethics into STEM education, these topics are rarely integrated into K‐12 standards and pedagogical practice. We explore how care praxis, a political and ethical approach to STEM education, supports students' sense‐making in addressing real‐world problems throughout STEM design, merging social,

‘The Housewife's Greatest Standby’: Dried Eggs, Gender and Domesticity During the Second World War

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the previously underexplored connections between dried eggs, women and domesticity in Britain during the Second World War. It argues that newsprint and advertisements framed the purchase and use of dried eggs, a novel wartime product, as a means for housewives to contribute to the war effort through domestic labour. Dried

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

InterPLAY: A Framework to Describe Play and STEM Engagement at Exhibits for Young Children

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Play‐based STEM learning at exhibits is a feature of children's museums and science centers; yet little is known about how these exhibits support young children's STEM engagement. This study developed and tested the interPLAY Framework to describe play‐based STEM engagement at exhibits for young children.
