Recently, the team of Prof. Nishuang Liu and Prof. Yihua Gao from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has reviewed the recent advances in self-powered sensors based on ionic hydrogels. The review was published in Research as “Recent Advances in Self-Powered Sensors Based on Ionic Hydrogels”. This review systematically summarizes the self-powered mechanism of ionic hydrogel self-powered sensors, structural engineering related to device and material properties, and related applications, and discusses the challenges and future development of ionic hydrogel self-powered sensors.

A recent study has introduced the next-generation Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (VPM 3.0), delivering a major leap in the accuracy of global gross primary production (GPP) estimates. 

Seagrass meadows are critical marine ecosystems, acting as carbon sinks and providing habitats for diverse marine species.
