Science
The material acts as a biomimetic of teak wood and creates an environmental barrier coating.
The multiscale layered structure of teak wood provides excellent mechanical properties and environmental stability, which has inspired the biomimetic design of environmental barrier coatings. In this study, a multiscale nano Yb2Si2O7-Yb2SiO5 composite EBC with a layered structure similar to teak wood was realized by a new vapor/liquid phase alternating deposition method in plasma spray-physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD). In this process,…

Experiments show that coating rice seedlings with durian-derived nanoscale carbon dots helps rice grow in saline soils
Rice seedlings sprayed with a carbon dot mixture derived from durian skin (far right) are stronger than untreated seedlings (second from left) and have acquired genes that improve salt tolerance and photosynthesis without genetic modification. It has manifested. Credit: Adapted from ACS Nano 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c09001 Abnormal weather and pollution have increased salinity in some soils, making growing conditions harsher…
