Microbially-induced Carbonate Precipitation for Immobilization of Toxic Metals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rapid urbanization and industrialization resulting from growing populations contribute to environmental pollution by toxic metals and radionuclides which pose a threat to the environment and to human health.

Dynamic Switchable and Transient DNA Condensates Driven by Aptamer‐Ligand or Ion‐Nucleobase Bridged Complexes

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Switchable or transient formation and dissociation of the phase‐separated DNA microdroplets generated by metal ions or aptamer‐ligand complexes crosslinking Y‐shaped DNA frameworks and dynamically separated by counter ligands eliminating the bridging metal ions or biocatalysts degrading the aptamer‐ligand complexes, are introduced.

An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soils host a significant proportion of biodiversity on Earth providing ecosystem functions vital to human well‐being, making it imperative to include them and their ecological features when addressing sustainability goals. We performed a comprehensive assessment of soil health across Europe by explicitly integrating biotic and abiotic ...

Electrode structures of solid–liquid interface‐based triboelectric nanogenerators and their applications

open access: yesDroplet, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2026.
In this review, we have summarized the working principles and equivalent circuit diagrams of solid‐liquid interface triboelectric nanogenerators with different electrode structures, as well as the applications of devices with such structures in droplet mechanical energy harvesting and self‐powered sensing of liquid samples, along with their respective ...

Magnetic and Isotopic Analyses Unravel the Abundance and Sources of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Urban PM2.5

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly recognized as an emerging threat to ecosystems and human health, yet their mass concentrations and sources in urban atmosphere remain poorly characterized. Here, we developed a robust methodology for the extraction, quantification, and source apportionment of magnetic NPs in urban PM2.5.

Global patterns in culturable soil yeast diversity

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Yeasts, broadly defined as unicellular fungi, fulfill essential roles in soil ecosystems as decomposers and nutrition sources for fellow soil-dwellers. Broad-scale investigations of soil yeasts pose a methodological challenge as metagenomics are

Enhanced Reconstruction of Holocene Bryophytes From Sedimentary Ancient DNA Using Bryophyte‐Targeted Primers

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Bryophyte‐targeted primers captured a longer DNA fragment, moving beyond the indirect “bycatch” approach using vascular plant primers. This improved detection and recovered greater bryophyte diversity, with substantial overlap with taxa obtained through bycatch.
