Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Pulp Production from Pineapple Leaf Waste for Sustainable Paper Manufacturing

BioResources
The agricultural sector generates considerable amounts of waste annually, particularly during harvest periods. This study explored the potential of pineapple (Ananas comosus Merr.) leaves, a cellulose-rich byproduct of the pineapple industry, as a ...

Self‐Healing Starch‐Based Ionogels with Hydroneutral Dipole–Dipole Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces starch‐based, conductive, underwater‐healable, and transparent ionogels for soft electronics (SCUTEs). Starch macromolecules are partially substituted with cyanoethyl groups and incorporated with hydrophobic ionic liquid. The polar yet hydroneutral cyanoethyl groups facilitate strong dynamic dipole–dipole interactions that remain ...

Sustainable Phosphorylated Cellulose Nanocrystals: A Dual‐Affinity Platform for High‐Efficiency Enrichment of Intact Glycopeptides and Phosphopeptides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AAA ABSTRACT Protein glycosylation and phosphorylation are critical post‐translational modifications (PTMs) governing nearly all cellular functions, yet their analysis remains challenging due to reliance on costly and unsustainable enrichment materials.

Nernstian Diagnostics of Imperfect Selectivity in Naphthalene Diimide‐Based Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Non‐ideal redox electrolytes still govern the Nernstian behavior of electrode potentials in aqueous organic redox flow batteries under operation. We utilized this effect to analytically predict two scenarios of battery performance degradation. ABSTRACT Aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs) enhance the sustainability of battery energy storage ...

Investigating the inflammatory effect of microplastics in cigarette butts on peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Scientific Reports
Cigarette filter microplastics are composed of cellulose acetate that does not undergo biological or photo-degradation. These microplastics are readily dispersed and can be found abundantly in water, soil, and air.

Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Enhancing environmental DNA metabarcoding from marine ecosystems: Impact of filter type, storage method, and storage time on the assessment of fish alpha and beta diversity

Environmental DNA
The collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) and subsequent metabarcoding are useful tools for assessing marine fish biodiversity noninvasively. It is of particular importance to evaluate biodiversity in regions that are hard to access and thus less well ...
