Pattern Formation in Non‐Equilibrium Architected Materials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates an artificial mechanical system ‐ a robotic metamaterial ‐ as an accessible and versatile platform within which to explore and prescribe the reaction‐diffusion driven pattern formation hitherto associated with comparatively less accessible and versatile non‐equilibrium biological and chemical systems.

Comparison study on ammonia recovery from anaerobic digestion slurry by different biochar: Focusing on the effect of feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, and particle size

Current Research in Biotechnology
Treating anaerobic digestion (AD) slurry as industrial wastewater not only consumes a significant amount of energy but also wastes its inherent abundant nutrients, particularly the high ammonium content.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Natural vs. financial insurance in the management of public-good ecosystems [PDF]

In the face of uncertainty, ecosystems can provide natural insurance to risk averse users of ecosystem services. We employ a conceptual ecological-economic model to analyze the allocation of (endogenous) risk and ecosystem quality by risk averse ...

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Fir-dominated forests in Bavaria, Germany [PDF]

, 2005
The map of “Regional natural forest composition by main tree species” (WALENTOWSKI et al. 2001) depicts Bavaria as a region largely predominated by the European beech (Fagus sylvatica).
