Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Microplastics in human feces: a pilot study exploring links with dietary habits

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Microplastic are an emerging environmental contaminant that have raised concerns regarding their potential impact on human health. Ingestion is considered the primary route of human microplastic exposure, with food and beverage contamination being major ...

Neustonic microplastic and zooplankton in the North Western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2012
Neustonic microplastic and zooplankton abundance was determined in the North Western Mediterranean Sea during a summer cruise between July 9th and August 6th 2010, with a break between July 22th and 25th due to a strong wind event. Ninety percent of the

A Sustainable Adhesive Paradigm: Reversibly Reinforcing, Heat‐Free Bonding with Universal Substrates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A heat‐free adhesive system, delivering superior adhesion strength across metal, plastic, and glass substrates, is developed. Repeatable bonding with reinforcement instead of strength reduction enables error‐tolerant applications. This design paradigm establishes an eco‐friendly alternative to conventional adhesives, particularly suitable for ...

Microplastic contamination, an emerging threat to the freshwater environment: a systematic review

Environmental Systems Research
Microplastics have been noticed as widespread in an aquatic environment at the microscale. They have nonstop increased due to the increase in the production of synthetic plastics, population and poor waste management.

Simplifying Microplastic via Continuous Probability Distributions for Size, Shape, and Density

Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 2019
Because of their diverse sizes, shapes, and densities, environmental microplastics are often perceived as complex. Many studies struggle with this complexity and either address only a part of this diversity or present data using discrete classifications ...

Multifunctional Gelatin‐Based Smart Films Integrating Thermochromic Encryption, Temperature‐Regulated Photothermal Management, Reprocessability, and Biodegradability for Sustainable Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multifunctional gelatin films synergizing thermochromic encryption, self‐regulating photothermal management, and closed‐loop recyclability offer sustainable solutions for intelligent packaging. ABSTRACT Multifunctional gelatin‐based smart films are engineered by incorporating hyperbranched polyglycerol (HBPG) as a plasticizer, dialdehyde β‐cyclodextrin
