Location, location, location: priority effects in wood decay communities may vary between sites.

Environmental Microbiology, 2016
Priority effects are known to have a major influence on fungal community development in decomposing wood, but it has not yet been established whether these effects are consistent between different geographical locations.

Hydro‐Torsional Compaction for Scalable Production of Aramid Nanofiber Threads with Densely Assembled Double‐Helical Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a scalable strategy for producing hierarchically aligned PBDT threads through wet‐spinning, controlled drawing, and post‐spinning twisting. Ionic crosslinking reinforces structural stability, whereas alignment and twisting optimize mechanical performance.

Copper translocation from preserved wood exposed to wood decay fungi [PDF]

, 2017
Na področju zaščite lesa se v zadnjem času pojavljajo na baker odporni sevi gliv, kar v praksi predstavlja velik problem. Tolerantne glive ogrožajo zaščiten les v uporabi z običajno trajnostjo nad 30 let, saj les okužen s tolerantnimi sevi gliv lahko ...

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

In Situ Copper Electroplating Turns Material Extrusion 3D Printers Into Metal–Polymer Hybrid Fabricators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An in situ electroplating approach for MEX 3D printing is proposed, enabling copper deposition during the fabrication of conductive polymers. The method combines a printer‐integrated plating head, ML‐based g‐code control, and stop‐and‐go printing, achieving near‐bulk copper conductivity and enabling fully embedded, assembly‐free electronic components ...
