Modest capacity of no-till farming to offset emissions over 21st century
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 ‘No-till’ (NT) agriculture, which eliminates nearly all physical disturbance of the soil surface on croplands, has been widely promoted as a means of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration with the potential to mitigate climate change.

Agricultural soils and microplastics: Are biosolids the problem?
Frontiers in Soil Science, 2023 Biosolids are the solid by-product of the wastewater treatment system. They are regularly applied to agricultural land in the UK to fertilize and increase crop yields, but they have been shown to contain high concentrations of microplastics.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.

Mechanisms of carbon and nutrient release from acid impacted soils: Investigating competitive sorption and aggregate dispersion [PDF]
, 2018 Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and associated nutrients are of critical importance to natural biogeochemical cycling. In recent decades, increased amounts of DOC have been observed in Northern Hemisphere surface waters recovering from acid deposition ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...
