Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Ultrafast Micrometric Laser Structuring of Polymer Surfaces for Highly Organized Skeletal Muscle Tissue Modeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Standard cell culture supports were functionalized by laser‐structuring to generate advanced topographies tailored to skeletal muscle tissue. The physicochemical modifications of the polymeric surfaces and their interactions with cells were thoroughly investigated, confirming both safety and effectiveness in guiding muscle cell organization.

Hydrogen Production from Ammonia Electrochemical Cracking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NH3 electrochemical cracking (e‐cracking) is a complementary technique to centralized thermal cracking for releasing H2 from NH3. In this article, we review recent advances in catalyst development for these cracking techniques and conduct a techno‐economic analysis (TEA) to evaluate the economic feasibility of e‐cracking.

Non‐Uniform Space‐Time‐Coding Modulation for Low‐Complexity Diagnostics of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A diagnostic method for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) based on non‐uniform space‐time‐coding modulation is presented. Fault localization is achieved via amplitude‐only spectral measurements, eliminating the need for complex signal processing. A one‐to‐one mapping between harmonic components and RIS elements enables accurate detection.

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.
