Balancing personal thermal comfort is crucial through controlled heating for thermal
management and energy saving. The traditional thermo-regulation systems consume a vast …

Membrane distillation (MD) lags behind other desalination processes such as reverse
osmosis due to relatively high energy consumption. Heating in membrane distillation forms a …

Epidermal electronic systems for detecting electrophysiological signals, sensing, therapy,
and drug delivery are at the frontier in man–machine interfacing for healthcare. However, it …

Carbon is one of the basic elements for life on Earth. It exists in diverse allotropic forms while
being different in chemical and physical properties. The best well-known natural allotropes …

Flexible self‐healing thermal management devices are increasingly in demand due to their
high flexibility, low driving voltage, and excellent stability of thermal property. In this paper …

Water shortages and brine waste management are increasing challenges for coastal and
inland regions, with high-salinity brines presenting a particularly challenging problem …

Past progress in develo** and application of anti-icing/deicing techniques on marine
vessels is reported and summarised in this paper. Icing, especially sea spray icing, seriously …

Carbon-based fibres hold promise for preparing multifunctional fabrics with electrical
conductivity, thermal conductivity, permeability, flexibility and lightweight. However, these …

A carbon nanotube (CNT) web is a horizontally oriented continuous film, obtained by
drawing CNT forests produced by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). As the CNTs are …

A rapidly growing interest in wearable electronics has led to the development of stretchable
and transparent heating films that can replace the conventional brittle and opaque heaters …
