Systematic Identification of Native Bacillus spp. as a Sustainable Approach to Mitigate Cadmium in Cocoa

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Native Bacillus spp. isolated from cocoa fermentations demonstrate cadmium resistance and removal capabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, metagenomics, electron microscopy and functional assays, we identified promising strains for sustainable cadmium bioremediation, offering a natural strategy to improve cocoa safety and ...

Toward Energy Justice Principles for Sustainable Lithium‐Ion Battery Technologies

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Prefeasibility life cycle assessment is used to evaluate the environmental, social, and supply chain impacts of lithium‐ion battery technologies, and the concept of distributional energy justice is discussed. By comparing chemistries and use cases, it reveals inequities in material sourcing and technology access.
