The Role of Bridging Organizations in Enhancing Ecosystem Services and Facilitating Adaptive Management of Social-Ecological Systems

, 2015
The nested nature of social-ecological systems across scales requires a multi-scale approach for monitoring and response. However, in many cases this flow is hindered by hierarchical structures and bureaucratic procedures.

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Spectral‐Kinetic Synergy in Au‐Network Engineered FeTiO3: A Multi‐Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How can humanity achieve lunar self‐sufficiency? We utilize Au topology networks to modify the abundant lunar ilmenite. This catalyst, under sunlight, can convert waste carbon dioxide into space fuel. This design leverages the moon's natural vacuum for green manufacturing, avoiding the waste of gold and serving as “artificial chloroplasts” to sustain ...

Robust Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Over a Conjugated Metal‐Organic Framework Heterojunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a conjugated coordination polymer, Cd‐TMT (TMT = 1,3,5‐trimercaptotriazine), featuring an intrinsic molecular‐level charge transport network. The conjugated TMT ligands facilitate strong intra‐ligand charge transfer, while their ordered π‐π stacking along the [111] direction establishes a continuous pathway for directional electron migration,

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...
