Fast, Strong Capillary Liquid Metal Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Capillary liquid metal muscles (CLMMs) harness the exceptionally high and electrochemically tunable surface tension of gallium‐based liquid metals (e.g., EGaIn) to generate mechanical work. Confinement within microchannels maximizes surface‐energy conversion, enabling high force, ultrafast response (<25 ms), low‐voltage operation (<10 V), and ...

Hydraulicity in Organic Polymers Enabled by Hydrophobization Upon Water‐Triggered Curing of Hydrophilic Chains

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cement‐mimetic hydraulicity is realized in an organic polymer through a counterintuitive reaction in which a hydrophilic linear polymer reacts with water to undergo hydrophobization during curing via silatrane sol–gel chemistry. This polarity‐inverting curing process turns a water‐plasticized putty into a water‐tolerant rigid material, enabling ...

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

Boosting Charge Storage in Ferri/Ferrocyanide‐Based Alkaline Redox Flow Batteries

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
By modifying the solvation environment, cation engineering through Li+ substitution of traditional K+ or Na+ boosts the alkaline solubility of the ferri/ferrocyanide catholyte redox couple, providing a viable pathway to overcome the long‐standing challenge of energy density limitations for aqueous redox flow batteries (RBFs).

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.
