Aggregate pore and shape properties were more strongly correlated to soil organic carbon in large aggregates: Evidence from a long-term management-induced soil carbon gradient

open access: yes
he interplay between soil structure and soil organic carbon (SOC) is complex and affects key soil functions. There is limited knowledge on how this relationship changes with the size of the structural unit studied.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Long-term fertilization increases the temperature sensitivity of OC mineralization in soil aggregates of a highland agroecosystem

open access: yes, 2016
The mineralization of aggregate-associated organic carbon (OC) and the effect of long-term fertilization on its temperature sensitivity have not been addressed, but are critical for understandingOC sequestration and dynamics in agricultural soil ...

Soil Aggregation by Microorganisms Following Soil Fumigation

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 1958
Abstract The influence of autoclaving and of fumigation with eight chemical formulations upon microbial numbers in straw‐amended Peorian loess and the extent to which these treatments affect the degree of aggregation brought about by subsequently introduced inocula were determined. A mixed soil flora,

Edible Pouch Motors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...
