Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Pollution characteristics of microplastics in greenhouse soil profiles with the long-term application of organic compost

Resources, Environment and Sustainability
Organic composts are significant sources of microplastic (MP) pollution in soils, and their input is much higher in greenhouse agriculture than open-field agriculture.

Short-term effect of soil disturbance by mechanical weeding on plant available nutrients in an organic vs conventional rotations experiment [PDF]

, 2006
The question whether soil disturbance from mechanical weeding in organic systems affects nutrient release from organic matter in compost-amended soil was examined in a long-term organic-versus-conventional rotational cropping system experiment over three

Dissolution Study of Biodegradable Magnesium Silicide Thin Films for Transient Electronic Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is introduced as a narrow‐bandgap, biodegradable semiconductor for transient electronics. RF‐sputtered and annealed Mg2Si thin films show high intrinsic electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity. The polycrystalline material undergoes hydrolysis in aquatic and composting environments with minimal cytotoxicity ...

Enhanced Energy Harvesting Performance of Biodegradable Polylactic Acid/3D Anodic Aluminum Oxide Composite Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Polylactic acid (PLA) embedded in 3D anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) yields triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with ɛeff = 5.1, delivering 20V and 108µW both per cm2. These agglomeration‐resistant, compostable/biocompatible devices retain 95% output after 104 cycles, enabling robust self‐powered Internet of Things (IoT) sensing.
