Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-362, June 2026.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Using Lignin and Spent Coffee Grounds as Bio‐Additives in 3D‐Printable Poly Lactic Acid/Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Composites for Advanced Electronic Applications

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 8261-8272, 10 May 2026.
Bio‐based additives derived from lignin and spent coffee grounds (SCG) are used to enhance MWCNT dispersion in PLA composites, enabling improved electrical conductivity and reliable in material extruded strain‐gauge sensors. ABSTRACT In this work, three bio‐based additives, lignin, spent coffee grounds (SCG), and oil extracted from SCG (Ox‐SCG) were ...

Effects of Molecular Designs and Double‐Network Morphologies for Bioadhesive Semiconductors

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
This study establishes molecular‐to‐mesoscale design rules for bioadhesive semiconducting polymers (BASCs). It identifies how side‐chain length, double‐network formation, and film thickness modulate adhesion strength and electronic performance, providing insight into the rational design of intrinsically adhesive semiconductors for stable and efficient ...

4D Printing of Multimaterial Flexible Magneto‐Active Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
Magneto‐active polymers are 3D‐printed with tunable mechanical and magnetic properties using both superparamagnetic and hard ferromagnetic fillers. Nano‐CT imaging reveals the spatial distribution of particles within the matrix. Programmable magnetization patterns and soft, flexible architectures enable responsive actuation, offering exciting ...

Nucleation Kinetics Reveals a Distinct Biological Function Space of Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study utilizes microfluidics to quantify the nucleation rates of dense liquid phases within dilute solutions and of the reverse process, in which dilute voids nucleate inside condensates. The interfacial tension is identified as the key determinant of both processes.
