The Hierarchical Structure of Sheep Wool and Its Impact on Physical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sheep wool, a prevalent α‐keratinous fiber, is an essential model for studying protein‐based fibers. Its genetic diversity across breeds enables the establishment of multiscale structure‐property relationships, uncovering previously elusive insights into wool's hierarchical structure.

Challenges for fruitful participation of smallholders in large-scale water resource management organisations: Selected case studies in South Africa [PDF]

In South Africa, the 1998 National Water Act has created two user-driven water resource management organisations, namely the Water User Association at the local level and the Catchment Management Agency at a larger catchment level. The paper investigates

Alginate‐Sludge Derived Biochar‐Calcium Hydrogel for Phosphate Removal and Slow‐Release Fertilizer: A Sustainable and Multifunctional Solution

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An alginate‐based biochar hydrogel (ABC‐hydrogel), derived from sewage sludge, is developed for simultaneous phosphate removal and agricultural reuse. It captures phosphorus from water and gradually releases it as fertilizer, enhancing lettuce growth.

Dynamically Adaptive Wrinkle‐Structured Light‐Regulating Films for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable, moisture‐responsive cellulose nanofibril/polyvinyl alcohol (CNF/PVA)‐glycerol film with switchable wrinkled surfaces for dynamic light regulation is developed. Compared to glass, it achieves tunable light diffusion for daylight harvesting, thermal regulation, and privacy control.

Groundwater resource modelling for public water supply management in London [PDF]

, 2012
In London, groundwater abstractions for public supply are predominantly from the Chalk aquifer. However, water resource pressures put existing abstractions at risk and often require complex analysis to support new source development.

3D Bioinspired Hair‐Based Solar Evaporator for Efficient Water Harvesting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A bio‐derived solar evaporator inspired by blackbody radiation is developed using human hair waste. The vertically aligned hair structure enables broadband light absorption, efficient thermal localization, and rapid water transport, achieving high evaporation rates and stable desalination performance.
