Unifying Physics, Structure, and Function in Solar Interfacial Evaporation: A Multiscale Perspective

Solar interfacial evaporation (SIE) has emerged as a low-carbon, sustainable route for seawater desalination and water purification, yet its development remains constrained by intrinsic heat loss, vapor-diffusion resistance, and insufficient interfacial energy management. Further...

Effect of silica-to-alumina ratio on hydrocarbon adsorption–desorption properties of Ag/ZK-5 Zeolites for gasoline cold-start emission control

Cold-start hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from gasoline engines remain a critical challenge in automotive exhaust purification, as three-way catalytic converters remain inactive below their light-off temperature. Ag-modified zeolites are promising HC trap materials, yet the structure...

Sub-10-nm stacking bands enable ultrastrong additively manufactured titanium

Lightweight alloys with superior strength–ductility synergies are crucial for advanced structural applications, and nanostructured titanium (Ti) alloys are promising candidates. However, it remains challenging to manufacture bulk components with complex geometries as well as pres...
