Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

Two Novel S‐methyltransferases Confer Dimethylsulfide Production in Actinomycetota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies two novel S‐adenosine‐methionine‐dependent methyltransferases, MddM1 and MddM2, in actinomycetes from the Mariana Trench. These enzymes can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) into dimethylsulfide (DMS), serving as a cellular detoxification and oxidative stress response.

Research progress on the origin, fate, impacts and harm of microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plants

Scientific Reports
Previous studies reported microplastics (MPs), antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). There is still a lack of research progress on the origin, fate, impact and hazards of MPs and ARGs in WWTPs.

Epithelium‐Inspired, Ultrahigh‐Toughness, Ultralow‐Hysteresis, and Highly Compressible Polymer Hydrogels as Self‐Powered, Visual, and Underwater Strain Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by epithelial tissue, epithelium‐like structure hydrogels are synthesized. The as‐prepared hydrogels exhibit ultrahigh toughness, ultralow hysteresis, and ultrahigh compressibility, which can be utilized as self‐powered and visual strain sensors.

Remote Modulation of Single‐Atom Catalyst Boosts High‐Valent Cobalt–Oxo Species Generation for Water Purification and Detoxification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a phosphorus‐doped cobalt single‐atom catalyst that enhances high‐valent cobalt–oxo species generation for water purification. This atomic‐level tuning boosts the catalyst's activity by 3.5 times, enabling efficient pollutant degradation. A continuous‐flow reactor achieves high, long‐term removal efficiency, producing water with low
