A new study in Engineering offers a carbon-coupled network charge-guided bi-level interactive optimization method. It focuses on optimal peer-to-peer (P2P) coupled electricity and carbon trading among prosumers in distribution networks. The method aims to address the challenges from distributed renewable energy and has been proven effective in a case study, bringing potential benefits to network operation and the energy transition.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the platform economy, logistics service strategies in platform supply chains (PSCs) are crucial for efficient operations. A new study published in Engineering delves into self-built logistics (SBL), third-party logistics (3PL), and logistics service sharing (LSS) in PSCs. It uncovers key research topics, influencing factors, and offers insights into future research directions, providing valuable guidance for both academic research and industry decision-making.

A new study in Engineering explores the material removal mechanisms in ultra-high-speed machining (UHSM). Facing challenges in machining high-performance materials, UHSM shows potential, but its underlying mechanisms are unclear. The research reviews material ductility - brittleness evaluation criteria, summarizes typical removal mechanisms, and delves into UHSM-specific mechanisms like embrittlement and thermal effects. It also standardizes the UHSM definition, offering insights that could aid the technology's industrial application.

A new study in Engineering details the development of a wearable stethoscope with a Lung–Sound–Monitoring–Patch (LSMP). It can monitor lung sounds in real-time, detect wheezing automatically using an AI algorithm, and has shown promising results in different patient groups, offering a new way for respiratory disease monitoring.

A recent study in Engineering delves into cyclic CO₂ injection in unconventional reservoirs. The research, integrating multiple factors like microseismic events and geochemistry, aims to understand its impact on oil recovery and CO₂ storage. Findings show that after ten cycles, there’s a rise in oil recovery and underground CO₂ storage, along with changes in reservoir properties.

A new study in Engineering explores the microbial reduction of vanadate by Bacillus subtilis and Thauera humireducens. It uncovers the electron transfer mechanisms and vanadium isotope fractionation involved, offering insights into vanadium biogeochemistry and potential bioremediation strategies.
