Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Water Droplet Hammer: Piezoelectric Sensing of Ultrafast Mechanical Transients During Droplet Impact

Small, EarlyView.
Droplet impact on solid surfaces produces an ultrafast substrate‐coupled mechanical response that is resolved by PVDF piezoelectric sensing. An initial impulsive strain pulse is followed by interfacial oscillations before rebound. Weber‐number and timescale analyses reveal how droplet inertia, surface wettability, impact regime, and liquid viscosity ...

Decreasing the Environmental Impact of the Electric Steelmaking Route Through Advanced Modelling Techniques

steel research international, EarlyView.
Ensemble models are adopted to estimate the sterile content of scraps arriving to the scrap yard. Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate steel composition and temperature after Ladle furnace. The models are validated on data from two steelworks very satisfactory results and are inherently transferable to other steelworks, as they are ...

Multi‐Scale Mechanical Behavior of Additive‐Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

steel research international, EarlyView.
The multi‐scale mechanical behavior of additive‐manufactured 316L stainless steel processed by directed energy deposition and high‐pressure torsion is explored. The influence of torsional strain on strength and microstructural evolution is revealed, indicating progressive grain refinement in the ultrafine regime, reaching strength levels nearing 1800 ...

The Economic Complexity–Carbon Neutrality Nexus in ASEAN Countries: The Roles of ICT Infrastructure, Foreign Direct Investment, Energy Structure, and Financial Market Developments

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapidly deteriorating environmental challenges have necessitated efforts to integrate technological, economic, and financial infrastructure to achieve environmental quality. However, environmental stakeholders have raised concerns about whether or not contemporary policy mechanisms can ensure sustainable development and net‐zero compliance.
