Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

The catalytic activity of copper/nickel supported on mesoporous aluminum catalyst towards cyclohexene epoxidation in continuous reactor

open access: yesJournal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2023
The intent of the study is to attain a high selectivity rate and stable interaction between metals in any heterogeneous catalyst. Cyclohexene is extremely valuable in industrial domains such as the synthesis of perfumes and nylons, and the mesoporous ...

Structure and Crystallization of Even–Odd Nylons Derived from Pimelic Acid: Influence of the Number of Methylene Groups in the Diamine Unit

open access: yesFibers
Nylons 6,7, 8,7 and 10,7 have been synthesized by interfacial polycondensation and characterized. Thermal properties and thermally induced structural transitions have been evaluated to complement the reported data on nylon 4,7.

Chapter 1: High-performance polyethylene fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research, 2022
In 1960, Treloar [1] published a seminal paper showing that the stiffness (E-Modulus) of an extended viz. fully stretched polyethylene and polyamide chain is close to 200 GPa, which is appr. the same stiffness as steel.

Fallschirmspringen, Paragliding und Wingsuit‐Fliegen: Im freien Fall

open access: yesPhysik in unserer Zeit, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 74-78, March 2026.
Mit nichts als Schwerkraftantrieb vom Himmel zu fallen, führt zu den schnellsten Sportarten, aber auch zu den gefährlichsten. Zusammenfassung Fallschirmspringen wird erst seit 1951 als offizielle Sportart betrieben. Moderne Fallschirme sind sehr gut steuerbar, weshalb zum Beispiel das Zielspringen immer anspruchsvoller wird.
