Enabling Sustainability in Local Food Supply Chains: A Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to escalating environmental and food security challenges, this study explores how Local Food Systems (LFS) and Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) can be redesigned to support sustainability goals. Drawing on a case study of a microalgae‐based food producer, the research applies a Resource Nexus Approach combined with Life Cycle ...

The Macro Vulnerabilities to the Clean Energy Transition: An Empirical Assessment

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The macro environment is one of the analytical levels of the multilevel transition perspective that has the potential to shape the clean energy transition. Following the Political, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) framework, the present study analyzes the paths by which these four macro dimensions jointly shape wind, solar, and ...

Sustainability Assessment: The Role of Entropy‐Based Indicators for Reconnecting Human' Subjectivity and Civilization With Natural Tendency of Ecosystems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability represents a complex issue in which scientific knowledge inevitably coexists with the subjective perception of humans in its turn influenced by civilization, cultural but also unconscious aspects. These results emerge with evidence from a critical analysis of the main definitions of sustainability delivered by credited entities (

Revisiting small‐molecule fluorescent probes in food freshness detection

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes serve as versatile tools for food freshness monitoring. This review summarizes recent advances in probes targeting biogenic amines, hydrogen sulfide, pH values, and other key spoilage markers, highlighting their design principles, sensing mechanisms, and practical applications in food quality monitoring. Abstract Food spoilage driven

Targeting the CD47–SIRPα phagocytic checkpoint in cancer: Biology, translational opportunities, and next‐generation therapeutic strategies

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The CD47–SIRPα axis has emerged as a critical innate immune checkpoint that suppresses macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis through a canonical “don't eat me” signal and enables tumor immune evasion. We comprehensively summarize the structural and biological features of CD47 and the molecular mechanisms underlying CD47‐mediated regulation of phagocytosis ...

Investigating the Iron‐Steam Process for Coupling With SOEC and SOFC: A Step Toward Integrated Hydrogen and Electricity Storage

steel research international, EarlyView.
Fixed‐bed reactor experiments (10 L) validate the iron–steam redox process, bridging material‐scale research and industrial power‐to‐power applications. Coupled with SOEC/SOFC systems, this framework defines critical interfaces for heat and gas management. Results confirm reproducible hydrogen storage and release, demonstrating technical feasibility at

HWTS 50 Tool Steel Tailored for Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Sliding Wear of Bare Surfaces and Nitriding Response in Comparison with 18Ni300 and AISI H13

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work investigates the wear resistance and nitriding behavior of PBF‐LB/M‐processed Osprey HWTS 50, a lean hot work tool steel. Three heat treatment conditions are compared to conventional wrought H13, H11, and PBF‐LB/M 18Ni300. The study highlights HWTS 50's enhanced nitrogen diffusion, deeper nitriding hardness depth, and comparable or improved ...

Press Hardening for Sustainable Lightweight Chassis Design in Heavy‐Duty Vehicles: A Material Performance and Life Cycle Assessment Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
The article explores how high‐strength steels and press hardening revolutionize lightweight chassis design for heavy‐duty vehicles. It reveals that press hardened steels combined with shot peening can cut weight by up to 34% and reduce environmental impact by 21%–32%.

Effect of Double Annealing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Medium Manganese Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
A double intercritical annealing strategy is proposed to tailor the multiphase microstructure and mechanical response of a medium‐Mn steel. The treatment produces an ultrafine mixture of ferrite, martensite and multiple austenite populations with graded thermal and mechanical stability, formed through austenite reversion and controlled retransformation.
