Antibacterial hydrogel: The sniper of chronic wounds
The treatment of chronic wounds has always been an important challenge in the medical field. We focus on hydrogels not only because they provide a moist healing environment but also because compared with traditional dressings, they can effectively prevent and treat infections, reduce wound pain and scar formation.

The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Influence of environment and mineralogy on euendolithic microboring patterns
Field experiments at Little Ambergris Cay reveal that euendolithic microorganisms preferentially bore carbonate substrates based on mineralogy, sea water saturation and trace metal content. Results highlight night‐time dissolution activity and mineralogical preferences, shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of bioerosion and their ...

Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.
