Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

A Sustainability Approach between the Water–Energy–Food Nexus and Clean Energy

The excessive use of energy from fossil fuels, which corresponds to population, industrialisation, and unsustainable economic growth, is the cause of carbon dioxide production and climate change.

Designing integrated local production systems: A study on the food-energy-water nexus

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016
Centralised production of essential products and services based on fossil fuels and large scale distribution infrastructures has contributed to a plethora of issues such as deterioration of ecosystems, social-economic injustice and depletion of resources. The establishment of local production systems that deliver various products for local consumption (

Water-energy-food nexus and its stochastic dynamics: case study Greece

Discover Sustainability
The water-energy-food nexus is the foundation for the survival of societies and a vital element of culture. In this work, we examine how the nexus entered the public discourse and what its origins are for the area of Greece.

Assessment of the Food–Energy–Water Nexus Considering the Carbon Footprint and Trade-Offs in Crop Production Systems in China

Land
To elucidate the food–energy–water (FEW) nexus, in this paper, a food–energy–water–carbon (FEWC) measurement method is established, and the evolutionary mechanisms within the nexus are determined to optimize crop production systems (CPSs). A quantitative

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
