Could Edible Photonic Structures Be an Alternative to Traditional Food Coloring?
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 8, 23 February 2026.What if color in food came from photonic structures? This perspective introduces structural color as a potential next‐generation solution to replace conventional colorants in foods. It discusses edible photonic materials, their unique benefits, and the technological, safety, and consumer acceptance challenges that must be addressed to bring this ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.A carbon nanotube‐based biopesticide system (BioCNTs) enables efficient delivery and systemic movement of RNAi molecules to control major tomato viruses. By integrating shRNA and tRNA‐like structures (TLS) with BioCNTs, this green and scalable approach achieves long‐term silencing and high antiviral efficacy through simple foliar spraying.

Anti-botrytis activity in epicuticular waxes of young grape berries of Vitis vinifera (Pinot noir)
OENO One, 1996 The susceptibility of the grape berries against Botrytis cinerea was known as a relation with their phenological state : young grapes are resistant while mature grapes are highly sensible.
