Programming Next‐Generation Synthetic Biosensors by Genetic Circuit Design
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Synthetic biology enables genetic circuit‐based biosensing to detect diverse targets, process signals, and transduce them into readable outputs or intracellular regulatory activities. However, field deployment and real‐world application of such synthetic biosensors face considerable challenges in sensitivity, specificity, speed, stability, and ...

Environmental Stability and Electronic Properties of Individual Flakes of Ti2CTx MXene
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The paper presents a synthesis of large Ti2CTx MXene flakes with sizes reaching 40 µm and examines their environmental stability and electronic behavior. It demonstrates that monolayer flakes degrade rapidly in ambient conditions, leading to semiconducting‐like behavior with low conductivity and mobility. In contrast, multilayer flakes exhibit enhanced

Shedding Light on Common Misinterpretations in Photocatalyst Characterization
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.For heterogeneous semiconductor‐based photocatalysts, Marschall et al. highlight common misconceptions in material synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation, together with detailed explanations on how to avoid them. The guidelines thus presented can help to improve reporting of photocatalyst performance in environmental applications, such

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This work uncovers the atomic‐scale origins of exceptional HER performance in amorphous Ni(OH)2 nanosheets by combining atom probe tomography, DFT simulations, and operando spectroscopy. We identify distinct short‐range‐order motifs that accelerate water dissociation, proton transport, and hydrogen adsorption. Embedding Pt single atoms further enhances

Deep Sea Mining vs. Underwater Cultural Heritage
This chapter seeks to provide an overview of the legal framework surrounding the protection of UCH as a part of the Marine Environment within the context of Law of the Sea, focusing particularly on the rules regarding deep sea mining. The text seeks to analyse how such an activity may be considered compatible, or not with the protection of the marine ...
