As an abundant natural resource, wood has gained great attention for thousands of years,
spanning from the primitive construction materials to the modern high‐added‐value …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great promise in molecular separations owing to
their robust, ordered and tunable porous network structures. Currently, the pore size of COFs …

Many materials have been tailored for sorption-based solar-thermal-driven atmospheric
water harvesting (AWH), but AWH devices are still inefficient and unscalable. To close the …

The cell wall, a defining feature of plants, provides a rigid structure critical for bonding cells
together. To overcome this physical constraint, plants must process cell wall linkages during …

Natural surfaces that repel foreign matter are ubiquitous and crucial for living organisms.
Despite remarkable liquid repellency driven by surface energy in many organisms, repelling …

Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in
diverse disciplines,,,,. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of …

Air water harvesting (AWH) is a prospective way to make people live in extreme conditions,
such as arid desert and remote islands. However, the refrigeration-based AWH suffers from …

Self-similar hierarchical honeycombs with complicated cellular topologies are promising
cores for lightweight sandwich structures ascribed to superior structural efficiency in terms of …

Honeycomb is one of nature's best engineered structures. Even though it has inspired
several modern engineering structures, an understanding of the process by which the …
