The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Zinc oxide/graphene oxide (ZnO/GO) nanocomposites serve as a gas‐sensitive film for ammonia sensing and as high‐performance electrode materials in supercapacitors, simultaneously. A wearable contact‐separated triboelectric nanogenerator is designed to directly drive the ZnO/GO nanocomposites‐based ammonia sensor.

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Combining machine learning and probabilistic statistical learning is a powerful way to discover and design new materials. A variety of machine learning approaches can be used to identify promising candidates for target applications, and causal inference can help identify potential ways to make them a reality.

Road-traffic pollution and asthma – using modelled exposure assessment for routine public health surveillance [PDF]
, 2004 Asthma is a common disease and appears to be increasing in prevalence. There is evidence linking air pollution, including that from road-traffic, with asthma. Road traffic is also on the increase.
