Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Coupling Exponential Rolling Circle Amplification to Lateral Flow Devices for Point‐of‐Care Detection of Viral RNA

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new exponential RCA (E‐RCA) system was developed and coupled to a toehold system for release of a bridging DNA, allowing for lateral flow detection. The E‐RCA method uses a secondary primer (P2) that binds RCA products (RCAP) to generate extended P2 products that can re‐prime a partially self‐complementary circular template, generating a complete ...

Toward Predictable Nanomedicine: Current Forecasting Frameworks for Nanoparticle–Biology Interactions

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Predictive models successfully screen nanoparticles for toxicity and cellular uptake. Yet, complex biological dynamics and sparse, nonstandardized data limit their accuracy. The field urgently needs integrated artificial intelligence/machine learning, systems biology, and open‐access data protocols to bridge the gap between materials science and safe ...

Defect‐Rich CoNi Prussian Blue Analogues Enable Highly Selective Electrochemical Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Introducing [Co(CN)6]3− defects into CoNi Prussian Blue analogues exposes square‐planar Ni–N4 active sites, leading to remarkable H2O2 selectivity during the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media. ABSTRACT Decentralized electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e− ORR) offers a ...
