The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

A framework for inland cities to prevent marine debris: A case study from Durham, North Carolina

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Land-based sources of litter are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to marine debris, and rivers can carry debris to the coast from far-inland sources. In this paper, we demonstrate the important role inland cities can play in the marine

Marine Plastic Pollution - Evidence Review

, 2020
This review has been prepared for the Defra Marine Litter Policy team in order to provide a summary of evidence of relevance to addressing marine plastic pollution. Whilst developing appropriate policy is a key challenge for this emerging issue, this review and associated workshop is primarily evidence, rather than policy driven.

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

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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.
