Hierarchical Icephobic Surfaces with Enhanced Photothermal Performance for Sustainable Anti‐Icing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The armored photothermal icephobic structured surface (APISS) features a hierarchical micro‐nanostructured architecture optimized for enhanced solar absorption, coated with titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles to maximize photothermal conversion efficiency and silica encapsulation to ensure exceptional mechanical resilience.

Lichens in Forest Park and Nitrogenous Air Pollution [PDF]
, 2014 Lichens have been shown to be useful bioindicators for determining levels of nitrogen deposition related to air pollution. Preliminary lichen surveys in Forest Park in 2011 and 2012 revealed the presence of lichen species associated with high levels of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible light‐temperature dual‐modal sensor is demonstrated with silicon‐based diode, of which the operation mode, i.e., photodetection and temperature sensing, can be conveniently controlled by the biased condition. Engineering demonstrations illustrate the applicability of the sensor to continuously monitor photoplethysmography and skin ...

Lichens, a unique forage resource threatened by air pollution
Rangifer, 1992 Lichens are the primary winter forage for most mainland caribou and reindeer herds in North America and for the majority of domestic and wild reindeer in Siberia and northern Europe, collectively totaling in excess of 5 million animals. Lichens represent

The legacy of logging--estimating arboreal lichen occurrence in a boreal multiple-use landscape on a two century scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In northern Sweden, the availability of arboreal lichens (Bryoria fuscescens, Alectoria sarmentosa) as winter grazing resources is an important element in reindeer husbandry.

Lichen specific thallus mass and secondary compounds change across a retrogressive fire-driven chronosequence [PDF]
, 2012 In the long-term absence of major disturbances ecosystems enter a state of retrogression, which involves declining soil fertility and consequently a reduction in decomposition rates.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a novel flexible tactile sensor based on the unconventional reversible contact behavior between liquid metal droplets (LMDs), with high‐pressure sensitivity and a broad working range. The 2‐LMD‐based sensor is capable of monitoring human motion and physiological signals, while electrical impedance tomography enables precise shape and

100 years of tropical bryophyte and lichen ecology : a bibliographic guide to the literature from 1901 - 2000 [PDF]
, 2002 A list of 401 citations pertaining to the ecology of tropical bryophytes and lichens is presented. The bibliography includes publications addressing the biology, ecology, natural history, and physiology of bryophytes and lichens, but generally eschews ...

Microbiome change by symbiotic invasion in lichens.
Environmental Microbiology, 2016 Lichens are obligate symbioses between fungi and green algae or cyanobacteria. Most lichens resynthesize their symbiotic thalli from propagules, but some develop within the structures of already existing lichen symbioses. Diploschistes muscorum starts as

Treecreeper Drone: Adaptive Mechanism for Passive Tree Trunk Perching
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Taking inspiration from treecreepers, a passively triggered aerial robot that can reliably perch on vertical tree trunks is presented. The friction‐based approach combines a microspine array with a tail‐like support, and then validates via dynamic analyses and flight experiments, ensuring stable performance across trunk diameters and bark textures ...
