Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how green and non‐green goods, energy transition, digitalization, economic growth, and population affect the material footprint of G‐7 countries from 1990 to 2023. Using an extended STIRPAT framework, we show that green and non‐green goods increase material footprint, demonstrating the resource intensity associated with

Material Heterogeneity and Waste‐Trade Networks in EU‐27 Circular‐Economy Convergence
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT EU monitoring summarizes circular‐economy progress with aggregate indicators, although material‐specific adjustment and cross‐border secondary‐resource links may follow different paths. This study examines convergence across the EU‐27, heterogeneity among biomass, metal ores, non‐metallic minerals, and fossil‐energy materials, and network ...

Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Active and stable electrocatalysts are critical for sustainable hydrogen production, particularly for high‐current‐density water electrolysis and specialized applications like seawater splitting. However, most water‐splitting electrocatalysts show limited activity at high current densities and poor long‐term stability, making it difficult to ...

Rounded Monodisperse Fluorescent Nanodiamonds
Small, EarlyView.Nanodiamond (ND) shape control using rapid molten‐nitrate etching is studied as a scale‐up method for monodispersed rounded particles. Optimal etching condition (567°C for 6 min) yields NDs with atomically stepped surfaces and reduced sp2 content. Compared to angular control, rounded NDs exhibit an increased proportion of luminescent particles (66% vs.
