MXene‐Coated, Multi‐Layered Mulberry Paper‐Based Flexible Tactile Sensor With High Sensitivity Over a Wide Pressure Range

Small, EarlyView.
Multi‐layered mulberry paper coated with MXene is used as a pressure‐sensing element in a resistive tactile sensor. The sensor achieves a high sensitivity exceeding 15 kPa−1 over a wide pressure range of 1–1000 kPa, demonstrating a balanced combination of sensitivity and sensing range among paper‐based tactile sensors incorporating MXene.

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Ring‐Width Dendrochronology, Isotopic Dendrochronology and Radiocarbon Dating of Timbers From the Spire Scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 761-772, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).

Informing Litter Decomposition Models With Molecular Diversity Data

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Predicting litter decomposition remains a central challenge in biogeochemical modeling. Traditional models of litter decomposition lack the chemical resolution necessary to capture intra‐molecular interactions like chemical protection of carbohydrates and proteins by lignins, which creates a bottleneck during decomposition, and do not describe

Microwave Assisted Hydrolysis of Holocellulose Catalyzed with Sulfonated Char Derived from Lignin-Rich Residue

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
A microwave assisted green process has been developed for production of sugars through liquefying holocellulose catalyzed with sulfonated char derived from the lignin-rich residue produced during pretreatment of lignocellulose.

Valorization of Poplar Wood Wastes Into 3D‐Printed Soya Oil‐Based Composites by Vat Photopolymerization for Interior Design

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 11, Page 2351-2367, 1 June 2026.
Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

XAFS analysis of Arsenic bound in holocellulose extracted from organic-rich contaminated sediments [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
The arsenic bound in holocellulose, a precursor of humic substances extracted from organic contaminated sediments, was investigated using XANES (x-ray adsorption near-edge structure) and EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure) with fluorescence ...

Holocellulose Nanocrystals: Amphiphilicity, Oil/Water Emulsion, and Self-Assembly [PDF]

Biomacromolecules, 2015
Amphiphilic holoCNCs were derived from rice straw holocellulose by sulfuric acid hydrolysis (64%, 45 °C, 45 min) at 11.6% yield (8.8% of rice straw). HoloCNCs are similar in lateral dimensions (4.1 ± 1.6 nm thick, 6.4 ± 1.8 nm wide), but shorter and more heterogeneous in lengths (113 ± 70 nm long), less negatively charged (0.128 mmol/g) and less ...

Compression wood in Pinus radiata II: Density and chemical composition

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Ten 22 year old radiata pine trees growing in two stands in Chile, one in clay and the other in humid sand soils showing some lean, were assessed for chemical composition and wood density of compres-sion wood. Signifi cant differences in type of wood in
