Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A tree‐inspired hydrogel interfacial reactor couples solar evaporation with photocatalysis for simultaneous desalination and waste water treatment. The bilayer design achieves 2.14 kg·m−2·h−1 evaporation rate with 79% dye degradation under one sun, demonstrating that photothermal heating and evaporation induced pollutant enrichment create a self ...

Biomimetic Microfractals Based Flexible Triboelectric Nanogenerators
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A leaf‐skeleton‐based microfractal architecture is integrated with guided CuNW networks and biomimetic triboelectric polymer layers, enabling breathable, flexible, and material‐efficient triboelectric nanogenerators. The resulting system combines enhanced charge generation and charge transport, offering potential for next‐generation self‐powered ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 The mean and variance of ecological measures usually follow a power-law relationship, referred to as Taylor's power law (TPL). Leaves are important organs for photosynthesis, and leaf size is closely related to photosynthetic potential.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ultrasoft silicone elastomers often sacrifice surface functionality for mechanical compliance. In Mold Star, low‐molecular‐weight species form a dispersed phase that weakens the network and passivates the surface. Solvent extraction removes this phase, unexpectedly improving both extensibility and metallization performance, enabling conductive ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a ligand‐pairing strategy that reconstructs lead sulfide quantum dot surfaces for efficient short‐wave infrared optoelectronics. A low‐reactivity thiourea precursor combined with hydrobromic acid enables monodisperse and fully passivated quantum dots.

Reducing size to increase number: a hypothesis for compound leaves
Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2012 Adaptive advantages of the compound leaf form in flowering plants have so far remained elusive. A novel idea—proposed here—is that there are no direct advantages; the compound leaf evolved instead as a trade-off of selection in favour of something else:

Experimental Warming Does Not Change Fluctuating Asymmetry in Three Willow Species
Ecology and EvolutionFluctuating asymmetry (FA) is often proposed as an early warning indicator of subtle changes in plant functioning. Here, we tested whether leaf FA responds consistently to the alleviation of cold stress in three boreal willow species—Salix caprea, S ...
