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 ...

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.
