Accelerating Biosensor Discovery: A Computationally‐Driven Pipeline for Microplastics Monitoring
A computationally guided pipeline unites molecular simulation, synthetic biology, electrochemical engineering, and machine learning to accelerate biosensor discovery. A Bacillus anthracis carbohydrate‐binding module is used to develop a high‐performance micro‐ and nanoplastics sensor with greatly reduced error and variability.

We propose an “amorphous oxygen mechanism (AOM)” for urea electrooxidation on amorphous NiWOx with tunable Ov, which achieves robust UOR activity and stability simultaneously. The “amorphous oxygen” in NiWOx prefers to escape during the UOR, in situ generating and stabilizing Ov, which thermodynamically promotes the reaction.

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

We address the long‐standing challenge of reactivity–selectivity trade‐off by precisely tuning the redox properties of Fe(IV), rather than simply accelerating its formation, to enable chemically efficient and low‐emission water treatment. ABSTRACT High‐valent iron oxo species (Fe(IV)) are attractive for wastewater treatment because of their high ...

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...
