Dependence of Soil Moisture and Strength on Topography and Vegetation Varies Within a SMAP Grid Cell
HydrologyOff-road vehicle mobility assessments rely on fine-resolution (~10 m) estimates of soil moisture and strength across the region of interest. Such estimates are often produced by downscaling soil moisture from a microwave satellite like SMAP, then using ...

Soil Moisture Content Sensor: Utilizing Bacterial Cells as Living Sensors [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoil moisture affects water and heat exchange between soil and air, weather and climate, and plant growth. Therefore, controlling and predicting soil moisture is vital for irrigation, nutrient supply, absorption, and crop productivity.

Advanced 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 ...

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.
