Local evolution of seed flotation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Arabidopsis seeds rapidly release hydrophilic polysaccharides from the seed coat on imbibition. These form a heavy mucilage layer around the seed that makes it sink in water.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Mucilage protects the planktonic desmid Staurodesmus sp. against parasite attack by a chytrid fungus [PDF]
Zoosporic fungi of the phylum Chytridiomycota are ubiquitous parasites of phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystems, but little is known about phytoplankton defense strategies against parasitic chytrid attacks.

Current‐Driven Chirality Detection of Magnetic Textures in Cylindrical Nanowires
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Current‐assisted anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements in individual Ni/Au cylindrical nanowires enable detection of vortex chirality near Au segments and selective magnetic reversal in defined wire sections at magnetic fields lower than the propagation field. This approach provides a simple, cost‐effective, and non‐invasive method for probing and

Impact of nitrogen fertilisation on cactus pear mucilage functionality
South African Journal of ScienceThe spineless cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) mucilage is a physically slimy, green extract that is sourced from the cladodes (modified stems) of the crop.

Dissecting Seed Mucilage Adherence Mediated by FEI2 and SOS5
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The plant cell wall is held together by the interactions between four major components: cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, and proteins. Mucilage is a powerful model system to study the interactions between these components as it is formed of ...

Role of Structural Disorder on Phonon Transport and Thermal Conductivity in Li6PS5Br
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Solid electrolytes are fast ion and slow heat conductors. Although both transport properties are governed by lattice dynamics and atomic structure, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here, we study this interrelation in anion‐ordered and disordered Li6PS5Br.
