Metasurface Enhanced Photothermal Cement Foam for Robust and High‐Throughput Seawater Desalination

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Schematic of 3D metasurface‐enhanced cement foam for robust and high‐throughput seawater desalination. This study presents a cement‐based solar evaporator (CSE) fabricated in one step via viscoelastic lithography with simple negative pressure. In addition to boosting solar‐to‐vapor conversion efficiency via excellent light‐harvesting capacity, the ...

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...

A multi‐level approach for multi‐objective optimization in process eco‐design

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This work addresses a central challenge in process eco‐design: how to efficiently integrate environmental and economic criteria—often conflicting—into early design stages while managing the high dimensionality of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) indicators.
