Sprayable Polyolefin Sorbents Enabled by Bio‐Solvents for Large‐Scale Oil and Chemical Spill Recovery

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A sprayable POE‐based sorbent formulated with a green solvent blend of α‐pinene, D‐limonene, and p‐cymene enables rapid in situ film formation via solvent evaporation, allowing efficient pollutant capture. The system exhibits high oil uptake (37.3 g g−1) and effectively removes up to 60 mL of VLSFO under simulated marine spill conditions.

Evidence of habitat specificity in sponge microbiomes from Antarctica

Environmental Microbiome
Background Marine sponges and their microbiomes are ecosystem engineers distributed across the globe. However, most research has focused on tropical and temperate sponges, while polar regions like Antarctica have been largely neglected. Despite its harsh

Design and Experimental Study of Pressure Maintenance and Temperature Control System for Hydrate Pressure Core Processing Device

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper presents a hydrate pressure core processing device integrated with a high‐precision active control system to perform nondestructive transfer, cutting, and analysis. To address the limitations of slow dynamic response and high thermal inertia in traditional passive systems, a differentiated control scheme is implemented.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Freshwater sponges in the southeastern U.S. harbor unique microbiomes that are influenced by host and environmental factors [PDF]

PeerJ
Marine, and more recently, freshwater sponges are known to harbor unique microbial symbiotic communities relative to the surrounding water; however, our understanding of the microbial ecology and diversity of freshwater sponges is vastly limited compared

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Niche structure of marine sponges from temperate hard-bottom habitats within Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary

, 2016
Many species of marine sponges on tropical reefs host abundant and diverse symbiont communities capable of varied metabolic pathways. While such communities may confer a nutritional benefit to some hosts (termed High Microbial Abundance (HMA) sponges ...

Identification and correlation of the Aso‐3 tephra in the Omaezaki area, central Japan: A valuable key stratum for the MIS 6/5 transition period

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aso‐3 tephra is one of the most significant widespread marker layers from the Middle to Late Pleistocene, generated by a large caldera‐forming eruption at the Aso volcano in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. Despite its importance, a distal co‐ignimbrite ash correlative has yet to be clearly identified, primarily because although volcanic glass ...
