Potassium hydroxide activation of microalgal biochar for improved adsorption efficiency
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Activated carbon was prepared from Chlorella by carbonization and potassium hydroxide activation, and its structural properties and methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance were evaluated. Raw Chlorella exhibited an adsorption capacity of 287.2 mg g−1, which decreased to 214.8 mg g−1 after carbonization.

Prioritizing Feasible and Impactful Actions to Enable Secure AI Development and Use in Biology
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence continues to enhance biological innovation, the potential for misuse must be addressed to fully unlock the potential societal benefits. While significant work has been done to evaluate general‐purpose AI and specialized biological design tools (BDTs) for biothreat creation risks, actionable steps to mitigate the risk
