Volcano‐Inspired Dual‐Carbon Network Aerogel for High‐Performance Solar Evaporation With Edge‐Directed Salt Crystallization and Recovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A volcano‐inspired dual‐carbon aerogel featuring hierarchical conduits and an outer carbon‐fiber shell directs rapid water transport, confines heat, and enables directional salt migration. Radial temperature gradients in the conical structure trigger Marangoni‐driven edge‐localized salt crystallization while maintaining an unobstructed photothermal ...

Machine Learning for Designing Perovskites and Perovskite‐Inspired Solar Materials: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive comparison between perovskites and perovskite‐inspired materials (PIMs), focusing on their crystal structures, electronic properties, and chemical compositions. It evaluates the applicability of machine learning (ML) descriptors and models across both material classes.

Early-life famine exposure may modify the association between long-term temperature variability and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases: a nationwide study

Environmental Research: Health
We aimed to evaluate whether the association between long-term temperature variability (TV) and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) was affected by famine exposure in different age stages. We used data from the fourth national urban and rural elderly

A Wood Plasticine With Controlled Phase‐Change Behavior and Malleability for Energy‐Closed‐Loop and Conformally Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A photothermal wood plasticine exhibiting controlled phase‐change behavior and malleable property is developed. The developed wood plasticine can provide all‐day, on‐demand, and low‐loss solar heating for geometrically diverse objects, including thermoelectric generator, human body, and battery, through its controlled crystallization‐melting ...
