Micro and Nanostructural Diversity of Lizard Osteoderm Capping Tissue in Relation to Mechanical Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.

Phytoremediation Using Aquatic Plants [PDF]

, 2020
Freshwaters are affected by a diverse range of pollutants which increase the demand for effective remediation. Aquatic phytoremediation is a nature-based solution that has the potential to provide efficient, spatially adaptable and multi-targeted treatment of polluted waters using the ability of macrophytes to take-up, sequester and degrade pollutants.

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Spin‐Dependent Generation of Surface‐Bound Radicals Toward Selective and Long‐Lasting Water Purification

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel atomic engineering strategy to fine‐tune the spin state of α‐Fe2O3 catalysts toward a medium‐spin state, thereby modulating peroxymonosulfate activation and selectively yielding surface‐bound radicals. Compared with free radicals, surface‐bound radicals exhibit moderated oxidation potential, extended lifespan, surface ...

Coexistence in long-term managed lakes: Limited evidence of negative impacts of invasive macrophytes on fish communities

Ecological Indicators
Invasive macrophytes are widespread and can disrupt freshwater ecosystems if not properly managed. Their impact on fish is a topic of ongoing discussion, with studies reporting contrasting results.

Establishing a Model Precursor System: Over a Decade of Research on Carbon Dots from the Citric Acid‐Urea System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The citric acid/urea (CA‐Urea) precursor system offers a versatile, scalable route to carbon dots with tunable luminescence and multifunctionality. Mechanistic insights into precursor chemistry and reaction parameters have enabled doping, surface modification, and hybridization strategies, yielding CDs for luminescent devices, sensing, catalysis ...

Aquatic vascular plants of palo verde national park, Costa Rica (ESP)

Uniciencia, 1986
A study of the aquatic plants of palo Verde National park, Costa Rica, was undertaken during the rainy season of 1984. The swamp habitat is transitory, disappearing during the dry season, leaving only a few pools. The aquatic vegetation consists of a

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.
