Fossil-dominated secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in coastal China: size-divergent pathways of aqueous Fenton reactions versus gas-phase volatile organic compound (VOC) autoxidation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsElucidating size-dependent formation mechanisms of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) remains a critical research gap in atmospheric chemistry. Here, we analyzed water-soluble compounds in size-segregated aerosol samples (0.056–18 µm) collected at a ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...
