Bio‐Inspired Carbon Spheres Enable Active Sites Multiscale‐Anchoring and Pre‐Reduction
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Combining the wet‐spinning technique with a “bionic design” concept, a bio‐inspired carbon sphere support with internal finger‐shaped pores and external craquelure structures is designed and constructed, and the corresponding carbon sphere reactor is fabricated through the multiscale anchoring and the pre‐reduced promoting, and verified for application

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Bimetallic Cu and Fe oxide species supported on porous silica with interparticle mesoporosity act as efficient photo‐Fenton‐like catalysts under visible light. Photogenerated electrons drive the Cu2+/Cu1+ redox cycle. Part of Cu1+ is responsible for the regeneration of the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle at neutral pH. Light irradiation additionally induces structural

A Schema Based Model of the Praying Mantis
, 2006 We present a schema-based agent architecture which is inspired by an ethological model of the praying mantis. It includes an inner state, perceptual and motor schemas, several routines, a fovea and a motor. We describe the design and implementation of the architecture and we use it for comparing two models: the former uses reactive, stimulus-response ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.Enhanced hydrogen species migration enabled by FN/BZY catalyst mitigates intermediate accumulation and improves DA‐PCFC performance during ammonia decomposition. Ammonia, with its high hydrogen density and carbon‐free nature, serves as ideal fuel for direct ammonia protonic ceramic fuel cells (DA‐PCFCs).

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 17, 8 September 2026.Modification of geopolymer surface with a silane coupling agent containing quaternary ammonium group enables the development of dual‐functioning ion exchanger for both cations and anions. In the present study, the performance of this material was demonstrated for the uptake of ammonium and nitrate from water.
