A Knowledge‐Based Approach for Understanding and Managing Additive Manufacturing Data
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Additive manufacturing processes generate a large amount of data. Effectively managing, understanding, and retrieving information from this data remains a major challenge. Therefore, we propose an ontology‐based approach to integrate heterogeneous data, enable semantic queries, and support decision‐making.

Conformable Ferrimagnetic Tattoo Electrodes for Plant Electrophysiology
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The newly developed ferrimagnetic tattoo electrode is capable of measuring plant electrophysiological activity outside the Faraday cage. Its ability to adhere without damaging the plant tissue allows long‐term recordings. This premise opens new avenues for in‐field monitoring of plant health through electrophysiology.
