Programmable Information Processing With Reconfigurable Self‐Contact Variable Stiffness Mechanical Metamaterial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable self‐contact variable stiffness metamaterials based on shape memory polymers enable programmable stiffness switching. Static arrays store and encrypt information with immunity to electromagnetic interference, while asymmetric stiffness converts symmetric vibration into directional matter transport.

Circadian‐Inspired Hydrogel Moisture Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A circadian‐inspired hydrogel moisture‐electric generator enables sustainable electricity generation by autonomously current direction switching between daytime and nighttime. This reversible output is accompanied by inversion of the internal water gradient, which effectively reduce hydrogel fatigue and offers a new strategy for harvesting diurnal ...

Degradation Pathways of Silicon‐Based Anodes in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon‐based anodes undergo degradation through five primary pathways: (1) mechanical and structural deterioration of the active material, (2) loss of electrode integrity and electrical contact, (3) mechanical instability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), characterized by repetitive fracture and deformation, (4) chemical instability of the ...

U.S. Agriculture, Biofuel Markets, and Trade: Challenges and Opportunities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an enhanced Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP‐BIO), this study assesses how the expansion in demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the reduction in exports of agricultural products induced by trade disputes negatively affect US agriculture.

Complementary or Competitive? Emerging Interactions Between Restoration and Protection in the Conservation Reserve Program

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) delivers environmental benefits to society by enrolling cropland and grasslands to reestablish or safeguard long‐term vegetative cover. In recent years, the CRP has dramatically increased grassland enrollment while cropland enrollment has been in steady decline. This paper uses descriptive analysis,

Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...
