Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Life‐Like Ferrous Oxide Microspheres from Kombucha
Kombucha bacterial cellulose, sodium alginate, and ferrous nitrate self‐assemble into membrane‐enclosed iron oxide microspheres. These microspheres bud daughter vesicles, sustain 24‐h electrochemical oscillations, and filter theta‐band signals.

Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity
Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.

Enhanced Xylene Sensing Performance of Fe‐Doped NiO Nanosheet Arrays via In Situ Growth
Xylene is a hazardous volatile organic compound (VOC) widely present in industrial environments, and achieving sensitive and stable detection of xylene remains a significant challenge for gas sensors. Here, a one‐step hydrothermal route was employed to in situ grow p‐type Fe‐doped NiO nanosheet arrays on ceramic tubes for xylene detection.
