Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Closing the Loop in Agrivoltaics: A Radiative Cooling Coating for Synergistic Self‐Cleaning and Water Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A nanostructured photonic‐thermal coating enables radiative‐cooling‐induced condensation and water harvesting, establishing a self‐sustaining agrivoltaics microclimate loop that transforms PV panels into active climate regulators. The integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels into agricultural landscapes (i.e., agrivoltaics) offers a promising path for ...

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.

MOF‐Derived Superaerophobic Ni‐CoOOH Nanosheet Anchored on Stretched Carbon via In Situ Morphology Reconstruction for Durable Oxygen Evolution

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study constructed an in situ superhydrophobic OER catalyst with excellent activity and durability. Ni‐Co expansion induced tensile strain, converting the polyhedral framework into vertical nanosheets that enhance intrinsic activity and bubble detachment.

Making Sense of the Bioeconomy: A Critical Analysis of EU Policy Narratives and Responses

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy has become an increasingly popular concept in European Union (EU) policy, promising sustainable growth, job creation, and reduced environmental impacts. Yet its meaning remains contested, ambiguous, and politically charged. This study critically examines how EU bioeconomy policy narratives prior to 2025 construct this concept ...

Unique deficits in place coding across subfields of the hippocampus in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Memory problems are comorbid with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Animal models of TLE reveal impairments in spatial firing fields of hippocampal place cells, providing a potential neural substrate for memory problems. Each subfield of the hippocampus carries out unique aspects of spatial memory, yet little is known about how ...
