Thermally Stable Ceramic‐Based Nanocomposite Coatings for Versatile and Reusable Air Filtration Media

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 3, June 2026.
This research presents ceramic‐based nanocomposite coatings, featuring silver nanoclusters embedded in silica or zirconia, designed to enable the creation of reusable and sustainable air filters. These coatings provide a broad‐spectrum antibacterial and antifungal effect through a combination of contact‐mediated killing and the controlled release of ...

Seasonal Variability of Precipitation‐Associated Bioaerosols, Including Viruses, and Their Links to Cloud Ice Processes and Precipitation in a Coastal City

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Viruses constitute a significant subset of bioaerosols whose roles in cloud ice processes remain understudied. Continuous observations of viruses and total airborne microbes (TAMs) in precipitation were conducted in Qingdao from March 2024 to December 2025.

Spider Webs as Efficient Passive Samplers for Airborne Fungal eDNA in Forests: A Case Study With Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Spider webs (orb and sheet) are more efficient than filter paper (exposed for 1 day or 1 week) for passive collection of eDNA in a forest environment. Spider webs are scalable and low‐cost tools suitable for targeted surveillance of plant pathogens. Created in https://BioRender.com.

Temperature Exposure and Collection Substrate Choice Govern Post‐Capture Persistence of Airborne eDNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Environmental DNA signals integrate shedding rates, environmental transport, capture efficiency, and post‐capture decay. By isolating post‐capture persistence in airborne sampling substrates, we show that temperature dominates DNA degradation while collection substrate choice strongly influences signal stability and downstream detection.
