Spray Deposition Responses to Drone Operational Parameters in Simulated Orchard

Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an alternative to traditional pesticide applications in orchards. Particularly, drones are an example of UAVs that have increased in popularity in recent years; however, relatively few studies have evaluated how ...

A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

Optimal efficacy of the essential nozzle characteristics and insecticide type for controlling cabbage aphid

Journal of Crop Protection, 2021
The previous works have addressed selecting the nozzle to minimize the hazard of pesticide drift by producing large spray droplet sizes. However, this spray application with the largest sizes does not effectively impact insects either, as it needs many ...

Can a LiDAR-enhanced Air-blast Sprayer Improve Coverage on Tough Targets like Tree Trunks and Emerging Shoots?

HortTechnology
Eastern filbert blight (EFB) and pacific flatheaded borer (PFB) are two problems of Pacific Northwest orchard and nursery production. Fungicides and insecticides used to manage these issues are typically applied to plant tissues with minimal foliage ...

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

Advanced 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

Development and assessment of a novel single-drive variable angle spraying machine

Scientific Reports
Traditional sprayers are limited to applying spray mixture solely to the upper surfaces of crops. To overcome this limitation, a variable angle spraying machine (VASM) was designed using a linkage system.

Understanding Operando Water Management in Hydroxide‐Exchange‐Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Effective water management is vital for high‐performance hydroxide‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. Using a custom water‐flux station, this study quantifies how membrane thickness, microporous layers, and operating conditions dictate internal water transport.
