A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Structural Control Over Bicontinuous Emulsions from Solvent‐Transfer Induced Phase Separation Through Nanoparticle Loading

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle loading enables effective control over the liquid domain size in bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) produced through solvent‐transfer induced phase separation (STrIPS). The relationship between the nanoparticle loading and domain size profiles in STrIPS bijels is resolved through confocal microscopy and explained ...

An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Heat‐to‐Electricity Conversion Using Barium Strontium Titanate Multilayer Capacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lead‐free barium strontium titanate multilayer capacitors convert waste heat into electricity via the Olsen electro‐thermodynamic cycle. These capacitors achieve an energy density of 3.7 J cm−3, comparable to the performance of lead‐based ceramics. Their high dielectric strength and broad operating temperature window below 100°C make them practical for
