Could a kangaroo win the Tour de France? The effect of relative crank angle on metabolic efficiency in cycling. [PDF]
, 2016 The rapid evolution of bicycles in the 1800s increased the speed of human powered transportation ten-fold compared to walking and decreased the metabolic power required by 300%. However, the metabolic gross efficiency has hardly changed.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...
