Biodegradable Wireless Soil Urea Sensor Using Metamaterial Perfect Absorber for Distributed Deployment in Precision Agriculture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we propose a biodegradable wireless soil urea sensor for precision agriculture. The sensor's electromagnetic response varies depending on the urea concentration, allowing the measurement of relative soil urea concentrations by analyzing the time‐transient electromagnetic response.

Boron isotopes fractionation and its application progress in groundwater research

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
Boron (B) is ubiquitous in natural water bodies and rocks. Because of the large relative mass difference between the two stable isotopes of B, 10B and 11B, the B isotopes are susceptible to significant fractionation.

Hydrophobic 1D and 3D Anodic Alumina Radiative Coolers on Aluminum: Humidity‐Resilient Daytime Sub‐Ambient Cooling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
1D and 3D nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces were functionalized with stearic acid (STA) to increase hydrophobicity and reduce the influence of humidity on radiative cooling performance. The STA coating improves cooling behavior under humid atmospheric conditions (Madrid summer), before while keeping the optical properties required for ...

Mechanical degradation and microcrack evolution of weathered basalt under freeze–thaw cycles

Frontiers in Earth Science
Freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) play an important role in the degradation of rock masses and the stability of slopes in cold, high-altitude regions. However, the degradation behaviour of basalt with different weathering degrees under freeze-thaw (F-T ...

Lithium Isotopic Compositions of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Basalts From South-Eastern China: Implications for Extremely Low δ7Li of Continental-Type Eclogites

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Lithium isotope geochemical studies of oceanic-type eclogites benefited from previous investigation of altered oceanic crust; however, processes of lithium isotope exchange operating on altered protoliths of continental-type eclogites have remained ...

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

Bifidobacterium Pseudolongum‐Derived Inosine Mitigates Polystyrene Nanoplastics‐Induced Hepatic Injury by Inhibiting the Polarization of M1 Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Probiotic B.p colonization elevated gut‐derived inosine level in the liver, while elevated inosine activated A2AR and subsequently blocked NPs‐induced polarization of M1 macrophages by repressing the miR155/SOCS1/NF‐κB pathway. This reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines and thereby, mitigated NPs‐induced hepatic injury.

An Electronic Nose Based Method for the Discrimination of Weathered Petroleum-Derived Products

Sensors, 2018
In recent years pollution due to hydrocarbon spills has increased markedly as a result of the numerous advances in technologies and industrial processes. Anthropogenic activities (accidental or illegal) are responsible for most of these incidents.
