Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Image Cytometric Analysis of Algal Spores for Evaluation of Antifouling Activities of Biocidal Agents

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Chemical biocides have been widely used as marine antifouling agents, but their environmental toxicity impose regulatory restriction on their use. Although various surrogate antifouling biocides have been introduced, their comparative effectiveness has ...

Biomimetic Adaptive Hydrothermal Balance Fabric‐Based Dual‐Interface Solar Evaporator for Efficient and Stable Desalination

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
This study combines the biological structure of octopuses with the “3D structure” of spacer fabrics to fabricate a dual‐interface solar evaporator with adaptive hydrothermal balance. Water adaptation is achieved through the differentiated design of the upper and lower layers, and dynamic hydrothermal balance is realized by dynamically regulating the ...

Advanced bioinspired superhydrophobic marine antifouling coatings

open access: yes, 2023
Following the tributyl-tin antifouling coatings’ prohibition in 2003, global interest was directed toward non-toxic coatings as an eco-friendly alternative. Natural surfaces with superhydrophobicity exhibited exciting antifouling mechanisms. Efficient and eco-friendly antifouling coatings have been developed using bioinspired polymeric nanostructured ...

Antifouling properties of hydrogels

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2011
Marine sessile organisms easily adhere to submerged solids such as rocks, metals and plastics, but not to seaweeds and fishes, which are covered with soft and wet 'hydrogel'.

Natural antifouling compound production by microbes associated with marine macroorganisms — A review

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2016
In the marine environment, all hard surfaces including marine macroorganims are colonized by microorganisms mainly from the surrounding environment. The microorganisms associated with marine macroorganisms offer tremendous potential for exploitation of ...

Advances in Triboelectric Nanogenerators With Rotating Structure

open access: yesCarbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
The rotating TENG has been widely studied for its superiorities of simple structure, high efficiency, and stable output. This review introduced the four different principles of rotating TENG and offered a thorough summary for performance and application research through three‐level classification. Importantly, the current existing problems, challenges,

Chalcone derivatives as promising antifoulants: Molecular optimization, bioactivity evaluation and performance in coatings

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Marine biofouling remains a huge concern for maritime industries and for environmental health. Although the current biocide-based antifouling coatings can prevent marine biofouling, their use has been associated with toxicity for the marine environment ...

A Multi-Bioassay Integrated Approach to Assess the Antifouling Potential of the Cyanobacterial Metabolites Portoamides

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2019
The cyclic peptides portoamides produced by the cyanobacterium Phormidium sp. LEGE 05292 were previously isolated and their ability to condition microcommunities by allelopathic effect was described.
