Vacuum Infusion as a Processing Route for Transparent Wood Laminates

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the fabrication route for transparent wood laminates, including wood veneer delignification, epoxy resin impregnation by vacuum infusion processing, and the final TW‐1 transparent wood laminate. ABSTRACT Transparent wood (TW) has attracted increasing attention as a bio‐based material for daylighting and building‐envelope ...

Optical Durability of Contemporary PV Encapsulants Through Artificial UV Weathering

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Encapsulant choice can be used to mitigate UV‐induced degradation in modern silicon photovoltaic modules, but this strategy is only effective if encapsulants are durable under UV weathering. This study identifies optical changes to 14 commercial encapsulants as a function of UV weathering and identifies that, while changes to material transmittance ...

Deciphering Freeze–Thaw Dynamics In Rockwalls: A Novel Approach for High Accuracy Regional‐Scale Modeling

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all
