Suppressing Photothermal Artifacts in Flexible Fluorescent Fiber‐Optic Sensors for Accurate and Precise In Situ Temperature Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A partial‐inner‐cladding optical fiber (PICOF) is developed to suppress photothermal artifacts in fluorescent fiber‐optic thermometry by isolating the sensing layer from regions prone to photothermal effects. This structural design strategy enables high‐fidelity operation at elevated excitation power, achieving high accuracy (maximum absolute error ...

Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Enriched Soil Organic Carbon Underpins Long‐Term Stable Crop Productivity Across China's Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Quantifying the nonlinear relationships and causal effects of soil organic carbon (SOC) on crop stability reveals specific critical thresholds and saturation points. This partitions the national SOC spectrum into three functional phases. Integrating these spatial delineations with high‐resolution maps of marginal gains pinpoints regions with the ...
