The Breakdown and Self‐Clearing Performance During the Energy Harvesting Process of Dielectric Elastomer Generators Using Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes Electrodes

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For dielectric elastomer generators (DEG), electrical breakdown is the main failure mode during their working cycle. The application of self‐clearing electrodes is of great significance to avoid a single breakdown leading to the failure of the entire generator.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
