Recent Advances in Pickering Emulsion Templated Phase Change Material Microcapsules: Design, Fabrication, and Multifunctional Applications

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fabrication process of phase change microcapsules using a Pickering emulsion template method and their subsequent applications. The increasing demand for efficient thermal energy storage systems has driven the development of phase change material microcapsules (PCMMs), which provide high energy‐storage density, reversible phase change, and reduced ...

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,

Adjacent spillover efficacy of Wolbachia for control of dengue: emulation of a cluster randomised target trial

BMC Medicine
Background Matings between male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with wAlbB strain of Wolbachia and wild-type females yield non-viable eggs, thereby suppressing Ae. aegypti abundance in the field.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...
