ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...

In this work, we identified two novel pleiotropic sinapic acid derivatives with excellent anti‐acetylcholinesterase, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory properties. Alzheimer's disease, one of the most widespread neurodegenerative disorders, is known for its multifactorial nature that makes it challenging to treat.

ABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

TRNSYS Simulation of a Bi-Functional Solar-Thermal-Energy-Storage-Assisted Heat Pump System
The escalating energy demands in buildings, particularly for heating and cooling demands met by heat pumps, have placed a growing stress on energy resources. The bi-functional thermal diode tank (BTDT) is proposed as thermal energy storage to improve the
