These processes include multiphase fluid transport, interfacial dynamics, reactive transformations, and interactions with solids or microbial components in geological materials, all governed by wettability, capillarity, and reactive transport at fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfaces. Laboratory-based multiscale imaging provides critical insights into these phenomena, enabling direct visualization and quantitative characterization from the nanometer to meter scale. It is essential for advancing predictive models and optimizing the design of subsurface and engineered porous systems. This review presents an integrated overview of planar imaging, surface topography and volumetric imaging techniques relevant to porous media research, emphasizing the type of information each method can provide, their applicability to porous media systems, and their inherent limitations. We highlight how imaging data are combined with quantitative analyses and modeling to bridge pore-scale mechanisms with continuum-scale behavior, and we critically discuss current challenges such as limited spatio-temporal resolution, sample representativity, and restricted data accessibility. We conduct an in-depth analysis on open-science trends in experimental and computational porous media research and find that, while open-access publishing has become widespread, the availability of imaging data and analysis code remains limited, often restricted to ‘upon request’.

The underlying mechanism of solid superlubricity is incommensurate contact. Nowadays, relying on incommensurability and weaken size effect by reducing the contact area is an effective strategy for constructing macroscale solid superlubricity. However, the lack of a more profound understanding of the entire process of constructing superlubric interfaces is not conducive to advancing the progress of practical applications. Tribochemistry serves as the main thread of the process, leading the structural evolution behavior between steady states. It is powered by friction behavior to grow the lubricating phase that constructs the superlubric interface through physical and chemical reactions. This review, from the perspective of tribochemistry, delves into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and the evolution of interface structures involved in various lubrication forms. It demonstrates that the macro-superlubricity benefits from the macroscopic expression (lubricating layers) of microscale lubricating phases. Furthermore, we also introduce the novel applications of superlubricity in advanced manufacturing technologies.

To address these challenges, this review systematically explores the theoretical foundations of CO₂ adsorption, providing a mechanistic elucidation of CO₂ adsorption and its effects on interfacial properties. It integrates insights from mathematical modeling, molecular simulations, and experimental methodologies to elucidate the mechanisms of CO₂ sorption and its competitive behavior with other fluid components such as CH₄ and H₂O in geological formations.

Here, we present a rotating magnetic field-driven strategy for a magnetic microwheel to achieve gravity-resisting directional climbing on vertical walls, including biological tissue surfaces. By modulating the rotating magnetic field strength, orientation, wedge angle between the microwheel and the vertical wall, stable hydrodynamic interactions are induced, generating controllable wet friction force to counteract gravity. Experiments demonstrate that the climbing direction of microwheels can be dynamically adjusted on demand by regulating the magnetic field strength, wedge angle, and the angle between the magnetic field plane and the <em>z</em>-axis, enabling precise locomotion on vertical, overhanging, and biological tissue surfaces. Reversing the magnetic field and symmetrically adjusting the wedge angle along the <em>z</em>-axis further allows programmable directional switching. This approach circumvents the limitations of traditional negative-pressure adhesion mechanisms at microscales, offering a novel paradigm for integrating actuation and motion control in miniature wall-climbing robots.

The development of intelligent wearable protective systems is a major breakthrough in real-time health monitoring and prevention, greatly improving personal health management outcomes. An optimal smart air filtration system must demonstrate reliable filtration efficiency, minimal air resistance, and incorporate features for health monitoring and interaction with users. As a result, it is essential to create innovative materials for air filtration that can effectively trap particulate matter (PM). The adaptability, high surface area, interconnected porosity, and configurable morphology of electrospun nanofibers make them a highly promising platform for developing high-performance air filtration media. The conversion of ambient mechanical vibrations into electrical power by piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators (PENGs and TENGs) has emerged as a practical strategy for effective energy harvesting. Integrating self-powered technologies with fibrous air filtration materials to efficiently eliminate fine particulate matter provides a new and sustainable approach to air purification.

However, their direct use in food matrices is often limited due to challenges related to instability, poor solubility, and insufficient bioavailability. The past decade has witnessed extensive exploration of plant-based delivery systems as effective carriers for bioactive compounds due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and sustainable sourcing. Despite the enormous efforts and booming growth of scientific publications, our understanding of the precise release mechanisms of plant-based delivery systems within complex food matrices is limited.
