Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Sacrificing Energy for Mass Transfer to Boost Solar Steam Generation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Vapor accumulation often limits the performance of passive interfacial solar evaporation. Inspired by the Dyson sphere concept, Xu, Yang, and co‐workers designed a perforated‐shell evaporator with an internal non‐evaporating core that diverts incident sunlight to drive self‐generated internal convection for vapor removal.

Enabling a Circular Water Transition: Identifying Governance Pathways for Wastewater Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over 80% of the world's wastewater is discharged untreated, making reuse a widely underutilised strategy for addressing water scarcity. Due to the complexity of implementing water reuse systems, supportive governance conditions are required to steer this process and overcome barriers.

Policy Integration for Enabling Environments: Decentralised Water Technologies for Rural Water Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water reuse holds significant promise for addressing global water challenges, yet wide scale implementation remains limited. Decentralised water technologies for reuse have been highlighted as a potential aide in the reduction of water challenges, specifically for environments that have typically been considered ‘water rich’, and in rural ...

1,2,6‐Thiadiazin‐4‐ones: Robust Photocatalysts for the Green Aerobic Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
A new photocatalyst for the aerobic photochemical oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides is described under really low catalyst loading (0.01 mol%) and methanol as the green solvent. The chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides is accomplished using a new family of photocatalysts, namely 1,2,6‐thiadiazin‐4‐ones. Utilizing a low catalyst loading (

Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in
