Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Palladium‐Doping‐Enabled Interface Synergy for Superb Ampere Level Ammonia Electrosynthesis From Nitrate

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Isolated Pd sites in a metallic Co matrix boost nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion. Pd doping optimizes intermediate adsorption and reconstructs the interfacial microenvironment, promoting cation enrichment and a hydrogen‐down‐oriented water network. This dual modulation facilitates proton transfer and intermediate stabilization, enabling high ammonia ...

Ketazine‐Linked Covalent Organic Framework for Metal‐Free Electrocatalytic Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A metal‐free fluorinated ketazine‐linked COF is introduced as an efficient electrocatalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia under neutral conditions. Fluorine substitution enhances π–π stacking and crystallinity, enabling a Faradaic efficiency of 59.9% and an NH3 yield rate of 1639.9 µmol h−1 mgCOF−1 at −0.9 V versus RHE. This establishes an unexplored

Pulsed‐Laser Ablation for the Synthesis of High‐Entropy Alloy Aerogels Toward H2O2 Production and Water Decolorization

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
This work establishes a universal strategy for fabricating compositionally complex solid solution alloy aerogels via pulsed‐laser ablation and the sol‐gel process. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these aerogels are subsequently evaluated for H2O2 electrosynthesis and water treatment applications.
