Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Anticoagulant rodenticide accumulation in the liver and plasma of pigeons (Columba livia) in Thailand

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are widely used worldwide to control rodents. Currently, many countries are considering the use of ARs, which results in widespread accumulation and poisoning of non-target animals.

Toward Sustainable Separation and Recovery of Critical Metals From Discarded Industrial Perovskite Solar Modules

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An architecture‐guided recycling process enables selective metal recovery from end‐of‐life perovskite solar modules by exploiting interfacial accessibility and calcination‐induced phase transformation. The process achieves >99.8% Pb removal, >99.7% In recovery, and >96.1% Cu recovery, while selectively retaining Sn in leaching residue.

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Terahertz Channel Modeling, Estimation and Localization in RIS‐Assisted Systems

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces have become a recent intensive research focus. Based on practical applications, channel strategies for RIS‐assisted terahertz wireless communication systems are categorized into three different types: channel modeling, channel estimation, and channel localization.

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.
