Human, or nature-led? A spectrum of nature-based solutions by Alan Puttock, Roger E. Auster, Naomi Gatis, Richard E. Brazier

“…Based on our research in water resources, landscape management, and climate mitigation, in this perspective piece we identify two forms of NbS: (1) human-led interventions (HNbS) that are actively designed and maintained, and (2) nature-led solutions (NNbS) that allow natural processes to function with minimal human intervention.Drawing on our experience working with practitioners and policymakers, we highlight four key factors influencing the uptake and implementation of HNbS and NNbS: (1) the need for certainty, (2) balancing co-benefits and risks, (3) governance structures, and (4) societal perceptions of NbS.We propose that viewing NbS on a spectrum—from human-led to nature-led—offers a valuable framework for integrating these approaches alongside engineered solutions in policy and management. …”

All-in-one inks for one-step printing of solid-state graphene micro-supercapacitors on cellulose substrates by Jian Du, Xiaoqian Zhong, Woo Jin Hyun

“…Printable graphene inks, widely developed for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), facilitate the fabrication of microscale graphene electrodes with complex interdigitated structures. However, dense graphene flake packing in printed electrodes hinders electrolyte penetration, reducing the electrode/electrolyte interface for the electric double layer and thereby limiting the capacitance. …”

Simulation of the Effect of Circular Pit Micro Texture on Hemodynamics on the Inner Wall of Vascular Stent by HUANG Ke, YANG Fazhan, PAN Mingzhang, ZHENG Kairui, ZHAO Guodong, BIAN Dongchao

“…In order to reduce the probability of restenosis after stent implantation and to improve the blood flow characteristics in the stent, based on the principle of bionics, the inner surface of the reticular / tubular vascular stent is designed on round pit texture with the diameter of 60μm and the depth of 30μm, 50μm and 70μm, respectively.The finite element simulation analysis method is used to explore the influence of different stent structures and depths of micro texture on the blood flow velocity and intravascular pressure in the stent.The results show that, compared with tubular stents, the presence of micro texture on the inner wall of the reticular stent can greatly increase the blood flow velocity in the stent and increase the blood pressure, especially when the depth is 30μm and 50μm.In addition, under the same conditions, the maximum change range of blood pressure in the reticular stent is smaller than the maximum change range of blood pressure in the tubular stent, which causes less damage to the blood vessel wall.…”
