Solar vapor generation is a promising technique for water purification, although the development of efficient and sustainable systems for practical use remains challenging. Here, we introduce a higher plant–derived evaporator, leveraging the structural advantages of plants and the synergistic integration of multiple co...
Future sustainable agriculture requires root-zone systems that conserve water, retain nutrients, support beneficial microbes, withstand drought and salinity, and degrade safely in soil. Hydrogels are a promising material platform because their hydrated polymer networks can be tuned in chemistry, mechanics, transport,...
