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.

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

Solar‐Powered Electrokinetic Filtration using Hierarchical Porous Membranes for the Off‐Grid Removal of Ultrafine Contaminants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A solar‐powered nanoelectrokinetic filtration system enables high‐flux removal of ultrafine contaminants without relying on nanoscale pores or pressure‐driven membranes, offering a sustainable solution for the off‐grid water purification. Abstract The removal of ultrafine suspended solids from water remains a critical challenge due to the tradeoffs ...

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 ...

Polystyrene Microplastics Exposure Aggravates Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression via the NF‐κB and TGF‐β Signaling Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This research provides the first comprehensive evidence that PS‐MPs exacerbate ccRCC progression by activating the NF‐κB and TGF‐β pathways. These findings establish PS‐MPs as an environmental risk factor for ccRCC progression and identify the NF‐κB and TGF‐β signaling as potential therapeutic targets to mitigate the adverse effects of ‐PS‐MPs exposure.

Tailored Organogel Systems for Optimized Pesticide Delivery: Mechanistic Insights and Agricultural Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing molecular engineering for network design, three pesticide‐loaded organogels (PLOs) carriers exhibiting varying degrees of flexibility were prepared. The mechanical properties of these carriers, tunable via their network molecular structures, enhance their structural adaptability and retention stability at biological interfaces, thereby ...
