Assessing the Performance of Biopolymers as Substrates for Flexible Printed Supercapacitors Containing Liquid Electrolytes

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
The fossil‐based substrates of a printed supercapacitor containing liquid electrolytes can only be replaced with biopolymers if they have adequate permeabilities. This article studies three biopolymers based on their processability, printability, and barrier properties to find a more sustainable substrate option.

Response of soil characteristics and N2O emissions to fertilizer reduction strategies in highland summer vegetable production

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In recent years, the escalating application of nitrogen fertilizers in global vegetable production has positioned vegetable fields as significant sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, eliciting widespread environmental concern. However, the interrelationships among fertilizer reduction gradients, soil physicochemical properties, microbial ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Artichoke Bracts and Stems Residues as Active Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) (PBSA) Composites: From Agro‐Waste to a New Sustainable Material

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 2376-2392, 10 February 2026.
PBSA‐based biocomposites made from artichoke bract and stem powders have been characterised and formulated for agricultural and food applications, such as active mulching films. ABSTRACT In the context of a growing bioeconomy and the drive for sustainable materials, new biocomposites were formulated by incorporating poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate) (
