The Oldest Traces of Alcoholic Beverages in the Border Zone of the North and East European Plains

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 153-172, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Analysis of organic compounds preserved on pottery from the Bell Beaker community and the initial phase of the Trzciniec Cultural Sphere in the border zone of the Eastern and North European Plains was prompted by traces of alcoholic beverages found in contextually and formally analogous discoveries of more westerly provenance.

Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Fully Biobased PHBV Compounds

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 9, March 5, 2026.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are promising biobased polymers but degrade easily under heat and oxygen. This study examines PHBV with natural antioxidants to enhance thermal stability during processing. Results show regenerative additives prevent degradation and the effectiveness is comparable to that of synthetic additives.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Cross-supply-chain by-product valorization: optimization of Sorrento lemon peel aromatization of refined olive and grape seed oils via Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction

open access: yesApplied Food Research
The growing challenge of food waste highlights the need for strategies that reintroduce discarded materials into the food chain with added value. Sorrento lemon peels and grape seed oil are by-products of the citrus and wine industries that are often ...
