Optimization Study of Valve Closing Schemes for Long‐Distance Gravity Flow Water Supply Systems Based on the NSGA‐II Algorithm

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Taking the Ruyang Water Supply Project of Qianping Reservoir as the research object, a model was built with Bentley Hammer and valve closure schemes were optimized using the NSGA‑II algorithm. Results show that multistage closure is superior to single‑stage, and the optimized three‑stage scheme provides better water hammer protection, offering ...

Hydrogen‐Enriched Tri‐Fuel Combustion for Low‐Carbon Engines at Medium Engine Load: A Comprehensive CFD Analysis

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4130-4151, September 2026.
CFD analysis of a diesel–CH4–H2 tri‐fuel engine shows that increasing hydrogen energy share (HES) enhances mixing and accelerates combustion, improving pressure, efficiency, and reducing CO and soot. At 60% HES, ISFC improves 26.2%, soot drops 95%, while NOx increases due to higher temperatures. ABSTRACT The global commitment to achieve net‐zero carbon

Pumping Venom: Valvilli Architecture in Diacamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Implications for Stinger Functionality

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The insect stinger is among the best‐known venom‐delivery structures, yet its valvilli—paired flaps within the valve chamber—remain poorly understood. Using micro‐CT, histology, serial block‐face SEM and CLSM in the ant Diacamma nr. indicum, we show that the valvilli are not uniformly flexible flaps but are materially differentiated structures with ...

Thermally Regulated Droplet Microfluidics Enables Uniform, Size‐Controllable DNA‐Nanoparticle Superlattices

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 54, 25 September 2026.
Thermally regulated droplet microfluidics enables controlled assembly of DNA‐functionalized gold nanoparticles into uniform, size‐controllable superlattice crystals. Monodisperse droplets formed at elevated temperature suppress premature hybridization, followed by ultra‐slow cooling to promote near‐equilibrium growth.

Harnessing Backflow: AI-Optimized Hybrid Fan Systems for Micro-Scale Energy Regeneration and Smart Efficiency Control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering, Science and Information Technology
The interest in sustainable energy applications is driven by the desire to improve hybrid systems that can consume and simultaneously recover energy in a closed-loop situation. This research examines the possibility of an AI-based, self-reproducing fan that can recover and convert some of its own generated airflow, and convert that to usable electrical

Precisely Timed On‐Demand Droplet Ejection and Collision in Free Space for Controlled Reaction Initiation

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 53, 21 September 2026.
LiDIA is an on‐demand droplet‐in‐air platform that enables synchronized droplet collision, ultralow‐waste operation, and obstruction‐free sample delivery. By combining precise triggering with reliable free‐space dispensing, it provides a versatile route for rapid mixing and time‐resolved studies, with strong potential for applications in XFEL, cryo‐EM,

Advances in Wearable Thermoelectric Devices: Strategies for Enhancing Wearability and Performance

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review introduces wearable thermoelectric devices as body‐integrated systems rather than isolated energy devices. It explains how their performance depends not only on thermoelectric materials but also on skin contact, mechanical compliance, electrical interfaces, and heat‐flow design.
