TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper collected background air samples, including gas phase components and suspended particulates, for an investigation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and OC/EC in the Yangtze River Estuary.

TL;DR: In this paper , a polyacrylamide hydrogel with a precut crack is used to identify the inelastic zone using digital image correlation (DIC), and the measured field of deformation is calculated according to the neo-Hookean model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an actuator of magnetic elastomer capable of large deformation strain by harnessing magnetic pull-in instability, which enables a new type of soft robot with fast response, remote wireless control and extremely high power density.

TL;DR: A stretchable temperature sensor as discussed by the authors includes one or more elastomeric ionic conducting layers; at least two electronic conducting elements, wherein the ionic conductors and the electronic conductors are configured and arranged to provide at least one electrical double layer at a first contact area between the ionicle conducting layer and a first electronic conducting element in a sensing end and at least electrical double layers at a contact area in an open end of the temperature sensor, where the second electronic conductor provides a connection at the open end to an external circuit for measuring a signal generated in response to a temperature

TL;DR: In this article , the authors combined Raman spectral, radiocarbon activity (F14C), mineralogical, and sedimentological techniques with multiple geochemical analyses to characterize the dynamics of petrogenic organic carbon (OCpetro) in the water column and sediment particles from the Yangtze River channel-estuary-shelf continuum systems.
