Machine‐Learning‐Enabled Wood with Nanopump Functionalization for Solar Interfacial Evaporation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study employed machine learning to design an iron‐cobalt‐carbon‐wood photothermal material, achieving high‐efficiency evaporation at 2.807 kg m−2 h−1 and excellent salt resistance. The integrated system increased the daily water production efficiency of solar distillation by 1.5 times, providing an innovative solution for sustainable seawater ...

Low‐temperature soft electrochemical actuator based on hierarchically structured polypyrrole membranes for subzero operation

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A soft electrochemical actuator using a hierarchically structured polypyrrole membrane with coral‐like hollow vesicles achieves stable performance at −24°C. The unique architecture ensures continuous conductivity and rapid ion diffusion, resulting in large strain, low energy consumption, and high coulombic efficiency under subzero conditions. This work

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...
