Response Mechanism of Litter to Soil Water Conservation Functions Under the Density Gradient of Robinia pseudoacacia L. Forests in the Loess Plateau of the Western Shanxi Province [PDF]
In the ecologically fragile western Shanxi Loess region, stand density regulation of artificial Robinia pseudoacacia L. forests plays a crucial role in sustaining the water regulation functions of the litter-soil system, yet multi-scale mechanistic ...

3D Correlative Imaging of Lithium Ion Concentration in a Vertically Oriented Electrode Microstructure with a Density Gradient [PDF]
The performance of Li+ ion batteries (LIBs) is hindered by steep Li+ ion concentration gradients in the electrodes. Although thick electrodes (≥300 µm) have the potential for reducing the proportion of inactive components inside LIBs and increasing ...

Anomalous optical gradient force induced by polarization-tuned antisymmetry in energy density gradient [PDF]
The spatial inhomogeneity of electromagnetic energy density in an optical field typically gives rise to conservative gradient forces, which serve as the fundamental mechanism for trapping nanoparticles in optical tweezers.
