Application of Circular Economy Principles to Power Generation: Extending the Life of A Hydropower Plant by Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The application of circular economy, which aims to maximize efficiency and reduce waste, to renewable energy sources necessitates, given the intermittent nature of the latter, robust energy storage solutions to ensure grid stability and avoid wasting energy.

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Topological Structuring of Adhesive Layers to Enhance Resistance against Interfacial Fracture

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A hybrid bonding method that combines chemical affinity with mechanical interlocking is demonstrated. This approach uses a solution‐based technique to create a porous layer that strongly adheres to one substrate and templates a robust mechanical interlock with the other adherend. By tuning the pore geometry, crack propagation is effectively suppressed,

Engineering Janus Nanofiber Interfaces for Simultaneous Triboelectric Enhancement and Wearable Comfort

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A moisture‐wicking Janus bilayer triboelectric nanogenerator (MW‐JBT) that integrates directional moisture transport with dielectric‐engineered electrospun nanofibers was developed. When incorporated into a plantar sensing system and combined with a deep learning algorithm, the MW‐JBT achieved a fall‐detection accuracy of 88.5%. This study demonstrates

Intraspecific variability rivals interspecific differences in root traits of temperate tree seedlings

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

The Gujjar Baby and the Sucking Thumb

open access: yes
Once upon a time during the monsoon season a boy was borne to a mother of the nomadic Gujjar tribe in the Astore District. [As the family was very poor] the father asked the mother to dispose of the child since it was hard for them to take him along on ...
