Nanowires Reinforce Oriented Macroporous Aerogels for Rapid Uranium Removal from Acidic Radioactive Wastewater

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A “reinforced concrete” structural aerogel with directional microchannels is engineered for rapid uranium capture. The interconnected architecture enables ultrafast water permeation, and the nanowire reinforcement yields a 70‐fold increase in mechanical strength.

A Closed‐Loop Framework for Inverse Design: Dynamic Training and Intelligent Optimization for Heterostructured Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To accelerate the inverse design of heterostructured metal matrix composites, a closed‐loop scientific machine learning framework integrates continual learning prediction with NSGA‐II‐PMCP optimization. The framework maps microstructural descriptors to strength, toughness, and modulus, expands high‐quality Pareto solutions, and guides experimentally ...

Management costs for small protected areas and economies of scale in habitat conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Protected area management must be resourced adequately to achieve its conservation objectives. The variability in management costs across candidate sites for protection therefore should inform conservation planning.
