Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Development and application of genome-derived SSR markers for genetic diversity analysis, molecular fingerprinting, and core collection construction in bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.)

BMC Genomics
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.) is an important ornamental shrub, yet its cultivar identification and genetic background remain poorly characterized. To address this, we developed 18 polymorphic SSR markers based on the B.

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.
