Soft and Transient Bioelectronics Enabled by Polymer‐Free Ti3C2Tx MXene Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present Ti3C2Tx MXene hydrogel (MXgel) bioelectronics, a soft, flexible, and fully transient platform for high‐fidelity neural recording and stimulation. MXgel bioelectronics exhibit exceptional electrical conductivities, low electrochemical impedances, and high charge injection capacities.

Differences among active toluene-degrading microbial communities in farmland soils with different levels of heavy metal pollution

open access: yes, 2023
Heavy metals can severely influence the mineralisation of organic pollutants in a compound-polluted environment. However, to date, no study has focused on the effects of heavy metals on the active organic pollutant-degrading microbial communities to ...

Charge‐Reversed Lipid Nanoparticles Enable Encapsulation of Pt2L4 Nanocages for In vivo Anti‐Cancer Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Charge‐reversed lipid nanoparticles (revLNPs) enable efficient encapsulation and delivery of cationic Pt2L4 nanocages. Encapsulation preserves potent anticancer activity while improving circulation, reducing vascular leakage, and promoting favorable biodistribution in vivo.

The influence of droplet size and biodegradation on the transport of subsurface oil droplets during the Deepwater Horizon spill: a model sensitivity study

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2015
A better understanding of oil droplet formation, degradation, and dispersal in deep waters is needed to enhance prediction of the fate and transport of subsurface oil spills.

Biodegradability of Plastics [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2009
Plastic is a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which can be degraded by various processes. However, considering their abundance in the environment and their specificity in attacking plastics, biodegradation of plastics by microorganisms and enzymes seems to be the most effective process.

Modeling intrinsic bioremediation for interpret observable biogeochemical footprints of BTEX biodegradation: the need for fermentation and abiotic chemical processes

open access: yes, 2004
The intrinsic bioremediation of BTEX must be documented by the stoichiometric consumption and production of several other compounds, called ‘footprints’ of the biodegradation reaction.

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Over 95% Optical Reflectance From Structurally Modulated All‐Biopolymer Multilayers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new dense–porous design turns ordinary polysaccharides into highly reflective photonic multilayers. Alternating dense pectin and porous cellulose nanofiber layers create strong refractive‐index contrast without inorganic or synthetic polymers, enabling nearly perfect visible reflection, high near‐infrared reflection, broadband metallic‐like colors ...

Experiments in Predicting Biodegradability [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 1999
This paper is concerned with the use of AI techniques in ecology. More specifically, we present a novel application of inductive logic programming (ILP) in the area of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). The activity we want to predict is the biodegradability of chemical compounds in water.
