Experimental and Numerical Study on Enhancing the Performance of a Stepped Solar Still Using Porous Sponge Materials

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1456-1473, March 2026.
Three designs were built and tested: a single‐slope still, a six‐stepped still, and a six‐stepped still with 5 mm sponge sheets. The novelty lies in fixing porous sponge sheets to the vertical faces of the steps. Yield of freshwater and instantaneous efficiency were determined in various combinations, that is, base, stepped, and stepped‐cum‐sponge ...

Drilling Within the Critical Zone

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review synthesises 30 years of critical zone drilling methodologies for studying subsurface weathering, water storage, and biogeochemical processes. We evaluate drilling techniques, sampling strategies, downhole logging, and long‐term monitoring approaches while addressing contamination control and core preservation challenges.

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...

Effects of 17α‐Ethinylestradiol on Development and Gonadal Differentiation in the Estuarine Mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 2, Page 148-161, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In fish, sex determination and gonadal development are controlled by various genetic and environmental factors. In this study, experiments were conducted on the estuarine mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to investigate gonadal differentiation following exposure to the synthetic estrogen, 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2).
