The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]
, 2000 Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Multiphase printable organohydrogels with tunable microstructures are developed to control molecular transport pathways for immiscible cargo. The tortuosity and domain size of the colloidal phases are tuned by adjusting temperature and shear during processing, which enables the tailoring of diffusion kinetics due to different transport pathways.

Multi-level assessment of soil quality – linking reductionistic and holistic methodologies [PDF]
, 2000 Soil quality is often used as a qualitative, general term. However, quantification is an important feature of the scientific approach to nature. On the other hand, addressing specific soil parameters as indicators of soil quality includes a reduction of ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A multidimensional molecular strategy optimizes the tribonegative layer by electrospinning PVDF‐HFP for dipole alignment and crystallinity, followed by 2D borophene doping to enhance conductivity and charge trapping. Integrated with Nylon‐66 nanofibers, the composite device delivers a record sensitivity of 53.8 ± 1.2 V kPa−1 at 3 Hz, enabling ultra ...

Experimental study on the shear creep behavior of residual soil with varying rock content.
PLoS ONEUsing residual soil from the Shanghecun landslide in the western Henan Province, shear creep tests of residual soil samples with different rock contents (RCs) were performed to explore the creep characteristics, creep rate, and long-term strength of the ...

Shear strength anisotropy of rooted soils [PDF]
GéotechniqueThe shear strength of rooted soils depends on the principal stress direction owing to the anisotropy in the soil structure and root system. Existing failure criteria cannot describe the strength anisotropy of rooted soils under general loading conditions because they are mainly based on the test results of direct shear.
