Programmed Interfacial Phase Separation for Spatiotemporal Fungicide Delivery via Tunable Micro/Nano Architectures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Translating dynamic liquid‐liquid phase separation into robust solid‐state architectures remains a challenge in materials engineering. Here, we report a composition‐driven interfacial assembly strategy that couples supramolecular coacervation with metal‐phenolic coordination to engineer tunable fungicide carriers.

Root‐Inspired Microneedle Patch With Interlocked Rigid‐Soft Architecture for High Tissue‐Adaptiveness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A root‐inspired microneedle array patch uses lattice‐based mechanical interlocking to unite rigid microneedles with a flexible substrate. The interlocked rigid–soft architecture improves interfacial bonding, supports stable adhesion on curved and wet tissues under dynamic motion, and provides a versatile platform for robust biointerfacing and future ...

Predicting soil-water characteristic curve evolution using pore-scale modelling approach

Soils in construction are difficult to predict due to their deformability and complex composition. In unsaturated states, suction from air–water interfaces controls hydro-mechanical behavior by influencing interparticle forces.

Review of soil-water characteristic curve equations

, 1997
Practical applications of unsaturated soil mechanics still lag behind the state-of-the-art knowledge. The main stumbling block is the time-consuming processes involved in the measurement of the unsaturated soil parameters required for the constitutive ...

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Hydrodynamic Characterisation of the Inland Valley Soils of the Niger Delta Area for Sustainable Agricultural Water Management

Sensors
Since farmers in the inland valley region of the Niger Delta mostly rely on experience rather than empirical evidence when it comes to irrigation, flood irrigation being the most popular technique, the region’s agricultural sector needs more efficient ...
