VISPec‐DNet: Multi‐Modal Decision Fusion of Hyperspectral and Red–Green–Blue Images for Plastic Waste Detection and Sorting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
A multi‐modal imaging framework combining red–green–blue and hyperspectral near‐infrared data is presented for automated plastic waste sorting. The proposed VISPec‐DNet decision‐level fusion approach improves polymer identification and object detection accuracy across common plastic types.

Routing Optimization of Cable‐Driven Octopus‐Inspired Manipulators With Minimal Actuation via Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...

Design of experiments‐driven optimization of Porphyridium marinum cultivation: impact of operational variables on phycoerythrin and exopolysaccharide production

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1506-1522, May/June 2026.
Abstract Among the Porphyridium genus, Porphyridium marinum exhibits the highest phycoerythrin (PE) content. In this study, the metabolic trade‐off between biomass, PE, and sulfated exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was assessed under varying nitrogen and sulfur availability, light intensity, residence time, and cultivation mode.

Unique Phenomena in Different Viscosity Mixing and Suitable Operating Methods

open access: yesChemical Engineering &Technology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Flow visualization was used to clarify the mixing behavior of high‐ and low‐viscosity fluids in stirred vessels. Large impellers enabled relatively easy mixing, whereas certain impellers generated unusual flow patterns under zero‐gap interfacial conditions.

Chemical Characterization of Toxic Elements in Plastic Utensils: Key Insights and Health Impacts

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 5, May 2026.
Toxic elements in plastic utensils are assessed using portable X‐ray fluorescence and specific migration tests with water and 3% acetic acid as food simulants. Cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury are detected in the utensils, and migration results show exceedances of specific migration limits, particularly for lead, mercury, and cadmium. These findings
