Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...

ONHISTORY OF BUILDING OF WOODENSHELLSAND<неи THEIROPPORTUNITIESATPRESENTANDINTHEFUTURE

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2014
The history of building of wooden shellsnumbers several centuries. It begins after hipped roofs of tower buildings and church domes. Principally new structures of large-span wooden shells appeared in the 1920th. After this period, the history of building

Non-destructive evaluation methods that can be used for the determination of some properties of historical wooden structures

Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2016
Wood as a natural, sustainable and renewable resource has been used for structural and engineering purposes in human life for thousands of years and still maintains its importance. Human beings have been used the wood and wooden products for both shelter

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Probing the Cause of Capacity Fade in Large‐Format Li‐Ion Pouch Cells through Multimodal Characterization

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A comprehensive multimodal characterization of two end‐of‐life cells from a retired Nissan Leaf battery pack, subjected to accelerated aging to mimic extended use in second‐life applications shows that electrolyte degradation and loss is a more critical contributor to cell degradation toward the knee‐point in these cells than degradation of the ...
