Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Microplastic mineralization rate in Fenton reactions depends on polymer type
Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Despite microplastics (MPs) being highly inert pollutants, Fenton‐type reactions—using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and iron(II) ions (Fe2+)—may effectively initiate chain cleavage and induce mineralization. However, mineralization rates and mechanisms for different MP types at varying Fenton reagent concentrations remain unclear.

Recyclability of Polystyrene Bead Foams: Degradation Behavior over 10 Extrusion Cycles
Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 1711-1722, March 2026.This study investigates the multi‐cycle recycling of expanded polystyrene bead foam blended with virgin material. Material degradation is monitored by MFI, GPC, and mechanical testing. The results demonstrate that long‐term recyclability is feasible without progressive property loss, and that secondary high‐shear steps such as extrusion and pelletizing
