Physical Properties of Sandy Soil Affected by Soil Conditioner Under Wetting and Drying cycles

Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 1998
Information on the effectiveness of soil conditioners over a prolonged period is scarce. A laboratory experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of a polyacrylamide (Broadleaf P4) soil conditioner on the physical properties of sandy soil ...

A Holistic Stabilization of the Anode in Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries Through a Ternary Alloy Fusion

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
LiTeAl anodes fabricated through a scalable thermal fusion technique holistically addresses the stability issues faced by lithium‐metal anodes in lithium–sulfur batteries. Aluminum forming a skeletal network with lithium suppresses dendrite growth and enhances energy density, while tellurium forming a robust SEI facilitates Li+‐ion flow.

Effect of Dry–Wet Cycling on Methanotrophs in Wetland Soils

Biology
Wetlands occupy a mere 6% of Earth’s land surface, yet they contribute 25–45% of global natural methane (CH4) emissions. A key contradiction emerges here: it is the soil of these wetlands that serves as the host for methane-trophic microorganisms, which can oxidize the vast majority of the methane they produce under specific conditions (for example ...

Solution‐Processed Thin‐Film Transistors With Tunable Temporal Dynamics for Neuromorphic Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solution‐processed CNT and CNT/P3HT ion‐gated transistors exhibit materials‐defined synaptic timescales: fast CNT devices for high‐frequency spiking and slow hybrid devices for temporal integration. Embedding these dynamics into coupled reservoir‐computing and spiking neural network simulations reveals that a Hybrid‐Reservoir / CNT‐SNN architecture ...

Impact of weathering on a cement-treated sand [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
This study’s main goal was to examine how the wetting/drying solicitations affect the mechanical behavior of a cementtreated sand. A quantitative method based on the stress-dilatancy approach was used to assess the effects of two types of wetting and ...

A Dual‐Functional Electrolyte Additive for Highly Reversible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a dual‐function additive for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. TBAB disrupts the hydrogen‐bond network of water while TBA+ adsorbs on Zn to improve interfacial wettability and regulate Zn2+ flux, resulting in suppressed dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. This synergy extended the lifespan of Zn|

Digitizing the Filtration Interface: A Smart, Modular Janus Wood Platform for Self‐Reporting Oil/Water Remediation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work developed a smart Janus wood membrane integrating asymmetric wettability with built‐in electrical sensing for oil‐water separation. The membrane achieved > 99.5% separation efficiency and high flux by leveraging wood's natural anisotropic pore structure.
