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.

Variable organic matter stoichiometry enhances the biological drawdown of CO₂ in the northwest European shelf seas [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Variations in the elemental ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in marine organic matter (OM) and their influence on the marine carbon cycle remain poorly understood for both the open and coastal oceans.

Building clone-consistent ecosystem models

PLOS Computational Biology, 2019
Many ecological studies employ general models that can feature an arbitrary number of populations. A critical requirement imposed on such models is clone consistency: If the individuals from two populations are indistinguishable, joining these populations into one shall not affect the outcome of the model.

Issues Related to Incorporating Northern Peatlands into Global Climate Models [PDF]

, 2009
Northern peatlands cover ~3–4 million km2 (~10% of the land north of 45°N) and contain ~200–400 Pg carbon (~10–20% of total global soil carbon), almost entirely as peat (organic soil).

Unveiling Complementary Unipolar Electrical Transport in ZnO‐Co3O4 Core–Shell Nanowires Exploiting Iontronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Complementary unipolar electrical transport is demonstrated in ZnO‐Co3O4 core–shell nanowires, by engineering multi‐terminal device architectures that allow to selectively address different sections of the nanostructure and resorting on ionic liquid gating for conformal capacitive coupling and field effect control.

Accelerating Discovery to Deployment: Argonne's Materials Engineering Research Facility (MERF) and Its Role in Scaling Materials Technologies for Water and Resource Solutions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this Perspective, we highlight the processing science and scale‐up capabilities of the Materials Engineering Research Facility (MERF) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, with an emphasis on practical solutions for sustainable water and critical resource recovery. We demonstrate how national laboratories bridge fundamental

Response of soil bacteria community to experiment warming in three agroecosystems of the Tibet

Global Ecology and Conservation
Studies on the response of soil bacterial communities to climate warming in croplands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are currently insufficient. In April 2016, a field experiment incorporating two factors (warming and crop types) was initiated in the Tibet.

Co-regulation of photosynthetic capacity by nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium in a subtropical Karst forest in China

Scientific Reports, 2018
Leaf photosynthetic capacity is mainly constrained by nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Little attention has been given to the photosynthetic capacity of mature forests with high calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the Karst critical zone.
