From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics
This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.

A spectrally and kinetically multiplexed single‐molecule imaging method is developed, which achieved simultaneous imaging of 12 exosomal proteins at an unparalleled single‐copy resolution. It is found that co‐occurrence of α6 integrin and the pairing β counterpart on single exosomes is essential for lung targeting, providing valuable information for ...
