Removal of anionic dyes from wastewater using fly ash based adsorbent

open access: yesDesalination and Water Treatment
Facing the great challenge of increasing solid waste and huge amount of wastewater, “treating the wastes with wastes” seems to be a proper and sustainable development method. Fly ash, a typical solid waste, has attracted much attention for its high-value

Pollution affects Arabian and Saharan dust optical properties in the eastern Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Uncertainties in the direct radiative effect of mineral dust result from the variability in its optical properties but are also influenced by mixing with anthropogenic aerosols (“pollution”), e.g., black carbon or sulfates.

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals different characteristics of bladder cancer cells after exposure to bisphenol A

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical in plastics, exerts dual effects on bladder cancer cells: low doses promote growth and migration, while high doses suppress growth and migration. Multi‐omics and bioinformatics reveal BPA acts via MAPK and inflammatory pathways.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...
