Edible and Recyclable Gelatin‐Based Electronics for High‐Precision Health and Environmental Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An edible and recyclable composite film composed of gelatin and activated charcoal is presented for multifunctional health and environmental monitoring. The edible films exhibit tuneable mechanical and electrical properties, along with multimodal sensing capabilities for strain, humidity, and temperature. The composite film is degradable and recyclable,

Oral Exposure to Food‐Grade Nanoparticles Poses a Risk of Alzheimer's Disease‐Like Symptoms by Triggering Autophagy Defects in Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Three food‐grade nanomaterials induce dysregulated RyR‐Ca2+ signaling through epigenetic modifications. This dysregulation impairs the autophagic clearance process, ultimately leading to abnormal Aβ deposition and increase phosphorylated tau levels.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
