Compression Responses of Bio-Cellular Luffa Sponges
Crushing behaviors of luffa sponges were studied through mechanical experiments. Controlled by four-order hierarchical and anisotropic structures, luffa sponges exhibit anisotropic responses along axial, radial, and circumferential directions.

Microwave‐assisted synthesis of porous activated carbon from Luffa cylindrica biowaste yields high‐performance electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs). The prepared carbon exhibits high specific surface area and micro‐/mesoporosity, delivering excellent specific capacitance and cycling stability. A symmetric supercapacitor (SC) device shows 26.9 W

Cryptanalysis of Luffa v2 Components [PDF]
We develop a number of techniques for the cryptanalysis of the SHA-3 candidate Luffa, and apply them to various Luffa components. These techniques include a new variant of the rebound approach taking into account the specifics of Luffa. The main improvements include the construction of good truncated differential paths, the search for differences using
