New opportunities for the integration of microorganisms into biological pest control systems in greenhouse crops [PDF]
Biological pest control with mass-produced arthropod natural enemies is well developed in greenhouse crops and has often resulted in the evolution of complex ecosystems with persistent populations of multiple arthropod natural enemy species.

Self‐Heating and Thermal Gradient in Solid‐State Batteries: Friend or Foe?
This work investigates the role of self‐heating and thermal gradients derived from the kinetics/transport interactions within the cathode microstructure, electrode architecture, and operating regimes, thus encouraging a mechanism‐centric design of anode‐free solid‐state batteries for next‐generation high‐power applications.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome
