Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Bioenergy Potential of Europe's Perennial and Biennial Wildflowers: A Combustion Performance Benchmark

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Eight wild plant species were investigated as co‐substrates for pellet combustion. A long‐term field trial examined dry matter yield and biochemical composition, influencing combustion properties. Results show suitable combustion properties, comparable to Sida, with higher ash melting temperatures than Miscanthus, due to elevated calcium and magnesium.

Solar‐Responsive Zr‐MOF/Ag4P2O7 Heterostructures for Sustainable Photocatalytic Degradation of Emerging Water Contaminants

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
A microwave‐assisted approach yields Zr‐MOF/Ag4P2O7 heterostructures with superior solar responsiveness and efficient charge‐carrier separation. The hybrid photocatalyst rapidly degrades dyes and fluoroquinolone antibiotics into less toxic species under visible‐light. Comprehensive optical, mechanistic, and phytotoxicity analyses reveal its robustness,

NARFL Knockout Triggers Ferroptosis‐Driven Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
NARFL is vital for CIA and oxidative stress resistance. NARFL deletion in HPMEC cells, zebrafish, and mice is lethal and rescued by a Ferroptosis inhibitor. NARFL deficiency disrupted its interaction with CIA proteins, decreased aconitase activity, increased IRP1 activity, induced Fe overload, and led to ferroptosis and oxidative stress, resulting in ...
