Efficient activation of peroxodisulfate by Cu-loaded carbon catalysts for the degradation of highly concentrated Congo red

Industrial Crops and Products
Cu cluster-loaded carbon (CuC) catalysts were synthesized through a one-step pyrolysis process utilizing chlorophyllin sodium copper salt. The degradation efficiency of CuC700-activated peroxodisulfate (PDS) against high concentration Congo red (100 mg/L)

Contrasting shrub species respond to early summer temperatures leading to correspondence of shrub growth patterns

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The Arctic-alpine biome is warming rapidly, resulting in a gradual replacement of low statured species by taller woody species in many tundra ecosystems.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Shrub Cover and Soil Moisture Affect Taxus baccata L. Regeneration at Its Southern Range

Plants, 2023
The effect of key ecological and anthropic factors on the recruitment of the common yew (Taxus baccata L.) in Sardinia (Italy) has been analyzed. After bibliographic and cartographic research, followed by field surveys, we found 232 sites where yew grows

Bulk‐Like Spin Cycloid and Fast Switching in Freestanding BiFeO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Freestanding BiFeO3 membranes overcome substrate‐induced constraints by simultaneously restoring the intrinsic bulk‐like spin cycloid and enabling ≈50% faster ferroelectric switching than substrate‐clamped epitaxial thin films. This combination of robust noncollinear antiferromagnetic order and efficient electric‐field switching establishes ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

The Woody Planet: From Past Triumph to Manmade Decline

Plants, 2020
Woodiness evolved in land plants approximately 400 Mya, and very soon after this evolutionary invention, enormous terrestrial surfaces on Earth were covered by dense and luxurious forests.

Label‐Free Myelin Fingerprinting: An Adult Human Post‐Mortem Brain Slice Platform via Coherent Anti‐Stokes Raman Spectroscopy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A serum‐free, air–liquid interface organotypic slice culture model preserves human post‐mortem corpus callosum tissue, successfully recovering from slicing trauma to reflect the donor's underlying disease state. Pairing label‐free Coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy with k‐means clustering enables objective, high‐resolution ...
