Design and Verification of a Novel Sampling System for Lunar Water Ice Exploration
IEEE Access, 2023 Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to collect the subsurface lunar water ice samples quickly due to the cementation-hardening of ice and soil at extremely low temperature in the permanent shadow regions, a novel lunar water ice sampling system is

CleanMat, EarlyView.Oyster shell (OS) as a sustainable calcium source for chromium recovery from tannery sludge via co‐pyrolysis. OS outperformed CaCO3, achieving > 95% Cr recovery, attributed to its organic matrix proteins enhancing adsorption and phase conversion. The oxidation of tannery sludge Cr(III) to Cr(VI) improved recyclability, aligning with circular economy ...

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Measurement and Uncertainty Analysis of Lunar Soil Water Content via Heating Flux Method
Aerospace, 2023 According to the big impact hypothesis, the moon should be very dry. However, more and more evidence from the remote sensing of the moon in recent years indicates that there is a lot of water in the moon’s polar regions.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.
