Enhanced Water Harvesting on Directionally Patterned Slippery Undecylenic‐Modified Cellulose Nanoparticle Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
Bioinspired slippery surfaces combining the hydrophobic–hydrophilic patterns of beetle backs and the lubricated structure of pitcher plants enable efficient water harvesting. The patterned hydrophilic regions promote droplet nucleation and coalescence, while the infused lubricant ensures rapid droplet transport, providing a robust strategy for ...

Study of Lubricant Jet Flow Phenomena in Spur Gears: Out of Mesh Condition [PDF]

open access: yes
Oil jet lubrication on the disengaging side of a gear mesh was analyzed. Results of the analysis were computerized and used to determine the oil jet impingement depth for several gear ratios and oil jet to pitch line velocity ratios.

Performance Evaluation of Rice Bran Oil—Waste Cooking Oil Binary Blend‐Based Biodiesel With Normal Diesel in CI Engine

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluates the performance and emissions of CI engines using biodiesel blends derived from rice bran and waste cooking oil, revealing that a 30% biodiesel blend significantly reduces emissions, while a 70% blend affects specific engine parameters. ABSTRACT This research investigates the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of

Modeling the Impact of Alternative Fuels and Hydrogen Propulsion on Contrail‐Cirrus: A Parameter Study

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Line‐shaped contrails formed behind aircraft can evolve into broadly spread and long‐living cirrus clouds under favorable conditions. These contrail‐cirrus contribute significantly to the aviation‐induced radiative forcing. While past modeling studies have examined contrail‐cirrus across various atmospheric and aircraft‐type dependent ...
