The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Tunable Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents‐Driven Fractionation of Olive Pomace in an Integrated Biorefinery: Linking Lignin Structural Tailoring to Carbohydrate Valorization and Biopolymer Production

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Microwave‐conditioned olive pomace was fractionated with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) spanning acidic, neutral, alkaline, and chemo‐enzymatic regimes. The alkaline DES provided the best balance between delignification and carbohydrate preservation, yielding a fermentable glucose/xylose stream suitable for Haloferax mediterranei fermentation and poly(3‐

Shear Piezoelectricity in Poly(L‐Lactic Acid): From Molecular Chirality to Regenerative Materials Design

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review highlights how PLLA's molecular chirality and noncentrosymmetric chain packing generate intrinsic shear piezoelectricity without electrical poling, while crystallinity, optical purity, and molecular orientation define its design space. By distinguishing intrinsic d14 from device‐level outputs and connecting processing strategies to tissue ...
