Shape memory alloys (SMAs) with large latent heat absorbed/released during phase transformation at elevated temperatures benefit their potential application on thermal energy storage (TES) in high temperature environment like power plants, etc. The desired alloys can be designed quickly by searching the vast component space of doped NiTi-based SMAs via data-driven method, while be challenging with the noisy experimental data. A noise-aware active learning strategy is proposed to accelerate the design of SMAs with large latent heat at elevated phase transformation temperatures based on noisy data. The optimal noise level is estimated by minimizing the model error with incorporation of a range of noise levels as noise hyper-parameters into the noise-aware Kriging model. The employment of this strategy leads to the discovery of the alloy with latent heat of -36.08 J g, 9.2% larger than the best value (-33.04 J g) in the original training dataset within another four experiments. Additionally, the alloy represents high austenite finish temperature (481.71°C) and relatively small hysteresis. This promotes the latent heat TES application of SMAs in high temperature circumstance. It is expected that the noise-aware approach can be convenient for the accelerated materials design via the data-driven method with noisy data.

Adaptive Phase Change Microcapsules for Efficient Sustainable Cooling.

Passive radiative cooling has recently gained significant attention as a highly promising technology that offers a zero-energy and electricity-free solution to tackle the pressing issue of global warming. Nevertheless, research efforts have predominantly focused on enhancing daytime and hot-day radiative cooling efficacy, often neglecting the potential downsides associated with excessive cooling and the consequent increased heating expenses during cold nights and winter days. Herein, we demonstrate a micro-nanostructured engineered composite film that synergistically integrates room-temperature adaptive silica-shell/oil-core phase change microcapsules (S-PCMs) with commercially available cellulose fibers.

Patterns and Drivers of Surface Energy Flux in the Alpine Meadow Ecosystem in the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China.

Alpine meadows are vital ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, significantly contributing to water conservation and climate regulation. This study examines the energy flux patterns and their driving factors in the alpine meadows of the Qilian Mountains, focusing on how the meteorological variables of net radiation (), air temperature, vapor pressure deficit (), wind speed (), and soil water content () influence sensible heat flux () and latent heat flux (). Using the Bowen ratio energy balance method, we monitored energy changes during the growing and non-growing seasons from 2022 to 2023.

Due to the high viscosity and low fluidity of viscous crude oil, how to effectively recover spilled crude oil is still a major global challenge. Although solar thermal absorbers have made significant progress in accelerating oil recovery, its practical application is largely restricted by the variability of solar radiation intensity, which is influenced by external environmental factors. To address this issue, this study created a new composite fiber that not only possesses solar energy conversion and storage capabilities but also facilitates crude oil removal.

Forest age structures have been substantially affected by natural disturbances and anthropogenic activities worldwide. Their changes can significantly influence local and nonlocal climate through both the biogeochemical and biophysical processes. However, numerous studies have focused on the biogeochemical effect of forest age changes whereas the biophysical effect has received far less attention.

Vegetation is often viewed as a consequence of long-term climate conditions. However, vegetation itself plays a fundamental role in shaping Earth's climate by regulating the energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles across terrestrial landscapes. It exerts influence by consuming water resources through transpiration and interception, lowering atmospheric CO concentration, altering surface roughness, and controlling net radiation and its partitioning into sensible and latent heat fluxes.
