Considering both electrokinetic remediation and phytoremediation have limitations, an electrokinetic phytoremediation (EP) system was constructed to obtain efficient and environmentally friendly remediation results. This study indicates that the electric field can promote the absorption of Cd by ryegrass with little impact on soil physicochemical properties under the condition of rotary switching electrodes, and the accumulation of Cd in the aboveground and underground parts of ryegrass increased by 145.2% and 93.7%, respectively. The DC electric field combined with ryegrass under rotary switching electrode mode proved to be the optimal condition for the remediation of Cd contaminated soil with a remediation efficiency of 66.7%. Moreover, the rotary switching of the electrodes alleviated the suppression of the growth of ryegrass by the DC electric field. During the EP remediation process, the electric field promoted the transformation of the residue state of Cd to the other forms, which accelerated the desorption rate of Cd from the soil and facilitated the migration of Cd into plants. In conclusion, EP is a green and efficient remediation technology for heavy metal contaminated soil with good application prospects.

3D quadrangular rotary braiding is one vital technique of high efficiency and flexibility to manufacture preforms for composites. However, the use of this technique is limited to fabricating a few traditional braided fabric structures, which is attributed to the lack of knowledge of its process. Therefore, a model is proposed to simulate the braiding process so as to develop new processes and corresponding fabric structures.

Among optical switches, micro-opto-electro-mechanical system (MOEMS) switches stand out for their reconfigurability and broadband capability, making them well-suited for applications in data centers. In this article, we present, to our knowledge, a novel 1×5 rotary MOEMS switch actuated by an electrostatic comb-drive for optical networking.

Chiral sterically overcrowded alkenes are potential candidates for artificial light-driven rotary molecular motors (LRMMs), which perform a full 360° unidirectional rotation around the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond through a series of photochemical and thermal isomerization processes. However, the majority of the reported LRMMs adopt an intrinsic chirality (, an integration of the chirality center with the photoresponsive unit), which hampers the effective gating of their rotary direction through chirality switching. Herein, we report a new sterically overcrowded alkene equipped with a boronic acid receptor for dynamic covalent bonding with chiral vicinal diols, enabling it to function as an extrinsic chirality-based LRMM.

The mental fatigue of crane operators can pose a serious threat to construction safety. To enhance the safety of crane operations on construction sites, this study proposes a rotary switch semi-dry electrode for detecting the mental fatigue of crane operators. This rotary switch semi-dry electrode overcomes the problems of the large impedance value of traditional dry electrodes, the cumbersome wet electrode operation, and the uncontrollable outflow of conductive liquid from traditional semi-dry electrodes.

Rotary Blood Pump (RBP) is a commonly used ventricular assist device. However, the constant speed operation of the blood pump leads to a reduction of blood flow pulsatility, which triggers a series of adverse reactions. In this paper, a pulsatile physiological control with feed-forward compensation (FFC) is designed to regulate the rotational speed in real time to accurately output pulsatile blood flow to address this problem.
