Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid metal‐based microrobots combine magnetic steering, intrinsic X‐ray visibility and softness, to navigate blood vessels even against flow. Under clinically relevant magnetic fields, liquid metal microrobots roll along vessel walls, cross endothelial barriers, and accumulate in target tissues.

Undercoordinated Molybdenum Catalysts Enable Ultrafast Quasi‐Solid Sulfur Chemistry in Sodium‐Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An unsaturated coordination chemistry strategy activates a quasi‐solid‐state redox pathway by strengthening NaPSs adsorption and accelerating redox conversion kinetics, thereby overcoming the kinetic bottlenecks that limit high‐rate performance. In situ transmission electron microscopy, combined with newly developed Na‐ion diffusion descriptors ...

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

Land Use Change Impacts of Biofuels: Near-VAR Evidence from the US [PDF]

The present paper studies the land use change impacts of fuels and biofuels. We test the theoretical hypothesis, which says that changes in fuel prices cause changes in land use both directly and indirectly and, because of price inter-dependencies ...

Room Temperature Synthesis and Photopatterning of Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide Thin Films

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A nanofabrication strategy combining deep‐UV photolithography with block copolymer self‐assembly enables direct patterning and mineralization of mesoporous TiO2 thin films at room temperature. Photocatalytic titanium oxo‐clusters promote polymer degradation under UV irradiation, enabling multiscale control over porosity, film thickness, and lateral ...

The Impact of Fires on the Fractional Composition of Iron and Carbon Dynamics in the Cryogenic Soils of the Forest–Tundra of Western Siberia Under Changing Climate Conditions

Soil Systems
Fires significantly influence the ecosystems of Western Siberia’s forest–tundra zone. Namely, they alter soil processes, including the transformation of different forms of iron and the redistribution of carbon flows.
