Modelling plant compensatory effects in plant-insect dynamics [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceModelling plant-pest interactions is not an obvious task since the involved processes are numerous and complex. We propose a minimal model based on trophic relations and the concept of plant compensation capacity.

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Superelastic High‐Entropy Oxide Ceramic Aerogels for Thermal Superinsulation and Sealing at Extreme Conditions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐entropy oxide ceramic of (Gd1/2Lu1/2)2(Ti1/3Zr1/3Hf1/3)2O7 is prepared through a molecular synthesis route of pyrolytic solid‐solution reactions. The architectured nanofiber aerogel manifests unprecedented thermomechanical properties, including superelastic compressibility of 98% from −196 to 1500 °C, and thermal superinsulation capacity (24.14 ...
