Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Alignment of Agile and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Principles in Systems Engineering
ABSTRACT Organizations have consistently sought faster and more efficient methods for producing and delivering products. Agile principles offer essential guidance for shaping their policies and practices. The Agile Manifesto (AM) outlines 12 core principles for guiding software development but can also be applied in other contexts.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

The 5T Paradox of Triclosan: From Toiletries to Toxic Trash, a Growing Threat to Humanity
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) persists as a contaminant of concern in the Anthropocene, despite regulatory actions. Environmental dissemination continues through wastewater effluents, biosolid application, and improper disposal practices. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding triclosan's environmental fate, transformation pathways ...
