Bio‐Inspired Sclerotization of Lignin: A Robust Adhesive for Photothermal Wood‐Based Panels

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A high‐performance lignin adhesive is engineered via an insect‐inspired sclerotization strategy involving oxidation and hyperbranched polymer grafting, overcoming lignin's adhesion failure, and yielding a wet shear strength of 1.02–1.21 MPa. The adhesive endows wood‐based panels with photothermal functionality; building energy simulations indicate HVAC‐

Ceria Nanostructures Obtained by Hydrothermal Synthesis: Exploring the Experimental Parameter Landscape for Precise Morphology and Size Control

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Hydrothermal and microwave‐assisted syntheses enable systematic tuning of ceria nanostructure morphology. Chloride counter‐ions direct nanorod growth, while an acetate buffer yields uniform nanocubes whose size (14–26 nm) is tuned via the reactor filling ratio, with microwave heating significantly cutting reaction times to minutes while preserving high

Inter‐Material Transfer Learning for Accelerated Nanofluid Heat Transfer Prediction: A Machine Learning Approach for Energy Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents an inter‐material transfer learning framework for nanofluid heat transfer prediction in energy systems. By leveraging knowledge from Al2O3‐water data, the model accurately predicts hybrid Al2O3‐TiO2 nanofluid performance with only 20 simulations, achieving R2 = 0.985 and reducing computational requirements by 78.

A Thermodynamic Closure Model for Titan’s Surface Temperature: Its Long-Term Stability Anchored to Methane’s Triple Point

Geosciences
We develop a minimal thermodynamic model to predict Titan’s surface temperature based on radiative–convective equilibrium and the principle of maximum entropy production (MEP).

Sufficient Gas and Solvated Ion Transport Assisted Rapid NH3 Detection at Room Temperature Through Bionic Olfactory Fibres

Exploration, EarlyView.
Bionic olfactory fibres with nanoconfined ionic liquids were developed to mimic human olfactory cilia. Benefiting from sufficient gas transport pathways provided by inter‐fibre interconnected pores and rapid transport of solvated ions in the confined nano spacing, bionic olfactory fibres show excellent sensing performance to NH3 and demonstrate the ...

A Coupled AquaCrop–Richards Model for Improved Crop Yield Prediction Through Physically Based Soil Water Dynamics

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop modelling is essential for agricultural water management but often relies on simplified water balance routines that limit representation of soil moisture dynamics. To address this limitation, we developed a coupled model that integrates the 1‐D Richards equation, solved using a finite difference method into the FAO AquaCrop.

Thermal Ecology and Thermoregulatory Behavior of the Invasive Turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of invasive species, which pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, hinges on their physiological and ecological adaptive capacities to the environments into which they are introduced. Trachemys scripta elegans (T. scripta elegans), recognized as one of the world's 100 most invasive species, has spread across a wide ...

Intercomparison of a Regional Climate Model Ensemble for Selected European Catchments

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyzes a regional climate model ensemble for water cycle and water resource research with two models. Results show that ICON generally outperforms TSMP1 simulations, mainly with 2‐m temperature and precipitation. These findings serve as a baseline evaluation that shows how key structural differences influence the model skill.

A Refined Zero‐Buoyancy Plume Model for Large‐Scale Atmospheric Profiles and Anvil Clouds in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
A simple analytical model, the zero‐buoyancy plume (ZBP) model, has been proposed to understand how small‐scale processes such as plume‐environment mixing and evaporation affect the steady‐state structure of the atmosphere.
