The economic impact of future biological nitrogen fixation technologies [PDF]

open access: yes
The economic impact of some future biological nitrogen fixation technologies are estimated using AGSIM, a dynamic, partial equilibrium, econometric model of the U.S. agricultural sector. Five separate scenarios were modeled: (1) legumes fix more nitrogen,

Soft Magnetic Artificial Muscles with High Work Density and Actuation Strain via Dual Cross‐Linking Design

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐performance magnetic composite actuator that integrates covalent and reversible physical cross‐links within a stiffness‐tunable polymer matrix embedded with functionalized magnetic particles is presented. The actuator exhibits programmable magnetic responsiveness, a stiffness switching ratio of 1.37 × 103, stretchability up to 1274%, large ...

Widespread nitrogen fixation in sediments from diverse deep-sea sites of elevated carbon loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Nitrogen fixation, the biological conversion of N_2 to NH_3, is critical to alleviating nitrogen limitation in many marine ecosystems. To date, few measurements exist of N_2 fixation in deep‐sea sediments. Here, we conducted > 400 bottle incubations with

Strategic Design of Oxophilic Dopants for Active and Durable Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Under Seawater

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores a cost‐effective alternative by incorporating oxophilic dopants into non‐precious metal hosts to enhance water dissociation and catalyst stability. Computational screening identified Ni─V, Ni─Mo, and Co─V as top candidates. Subsequent experiments confirmed Ni20V exhibits superior HER activity, achieving 76 mV lower overpotential ...

Maximum rates of N2 fixation and primary production are out of phase in a developing cyanobacterial bloom in the Baltic Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Although N2-fixing cyanobacteria contribute significantly to oceanic sequestration of atmospheric CO2, little is known about how N2 fixation and carbon fixation (primary production) interact in natural populations of marine cyanobacteria. In a developing

Upconversion Nanoparticles Embedded Photonic Contact Lens for Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking Using Hyaluronate – Riboflavin Conjugate

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...

A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.
