Defect‐Engineered Microwave‐Responsive Ni@C Composites From Waste PET for Catalytic Plastic Upcycling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A circular upcycling strategy transforms waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles into microwave‐responsive Ni@C catalyst featuring lattice‐distorted nickel cores and defective carbon shells. These strain‐rich heterointerfaces enhance dielectric loss and promote localized microwave hotspots, accelerating peroxymonosulfate activation and polymer‐chain

Artificial Intelligence Meets Micro/Nanorobotics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence is transforming micro‐ and nanorobots from externally controlled, task‐specific machines into adaptive, autonomous systems. Machine learning, multimodal perception, digital twins, AI‐guided materials and geometry design enhance propulsion, localization, decision‐making, whichaccelerates clinical and environmental applications ...

All‐Amyloid Functional Coacervates

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an all‐amyloid interfacial complex coacervate technique that employs charge‐mediated or functionalization‐assisted complexation of oppositely charged food protein‐derived amyloid nanofibrils to engineer functional soft constructs across multiple length scales.

Advanced Materials for Biologics Delivery to Brain Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Material innovation is central to unlocking the therapeutic potential of biologics against many central nervous system diseases, including brain cancer. By engineering carriers with controlled transport, targeting, and release properties, advanced materials can overcome the blood–brain barrier and tumor microenvironment, improving the delivery of ...

Esterified Cholesterol Conjugates Enable LNP‐Mediated mRNA Delivery to the Blood–Brain Barrier Following Intravenous Administration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A cholesterol‐conjugated lipid library enabled the identification of a ligand‐free LNP platform for efficient mRNA delivery to brain endothelial cells via systemic administration. This platform achieves selective BBB targeting without disrupting barrier integrity, and enables modulation of neuroinflammation and vascular function without requiring trans‐

Upscaling the Fabrication of Rod‐Shaped Microgels: A Microfluidic Method Combining Step‐Emulsification With Consecutive Droplet Confinement in Parallelized Microchannels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A microfluidic method is presented which enables parallelized fabrication of rod‐shaped microgels, based on step‐emulsification (SE) droplet generation and subsequent droplet distribution and confinement, combined in a single device. Microgel rods are fabricated in parallel at different flow rates based on two light‐mediated crosslinking chemistries ...

Food Supply Chains and Short Food Supply Chains: Coexistence conceptual framework

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021
Abstract Despite the different elements that regard Food Supply Chains (FSCs) and the Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) as possessing opposing models, substantial changes are happening in them, such as economic, social and environmental sustainability practices, allowing description of other forms of existence of the models, in addition to the initial

Security of the food supply chain

2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009
The food supply chain could became a dangerous weapon in the hands of enemies, for this reason the strategies developed to fight food adulteration (food safety) should be complemented with specific actions devoted to improve food "security" in the sense of food defence.

Food Supply Chains

2012
In this chapter, we construct a food supply chain network model under oligopolistic competition and perishability, with a focus on fresh produce. The model handles food spoilage through arc multipliers, with the inclusion of the discarding costs associated with disposal.
