Modular Critical Element Recycling Platform Using a Nanoporous Additively Manufactured Gyroid

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A modular recycling platform integrates 3D‐printed nanoporous gyroid structures to enable efficient critical element recovery. This system utilizes a hierarchical architecture, combining macroscopic channels with polymerization‐induced nanoscale porosity. By systematically tuning structural wall thickness and resin formulation, the platform achieves an

Predatory protists reduce bacteria wilt disease incidence in tomato plants

Nature Communications
Soil organisms are affected by the presence of predatory protists. However, it remains poorly understood how predatory protists can affect plant disease incidence and how fertilization regimes can affect these interactions.

Genomic and Transcriptome Analyses of a Thermophilic Bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus B5 Isolated from Compost Reveal Its Enzymatic Basis for Lignocellulose Degradation

Microorganisms, 2020
A lignocellulose-degrading strain isolated from thermophilic compost was identified as Geobacillus stearothermophilus B5, and found able to secrete considerable amounts of enzymes at optimal temperature (60 °C) and pH (7.5).

Impact of different particle size distributions on anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste [PDF]

, 2013
Particle size may significantly affect the speed and stability of anaerobic digestion, and matching the choice of particle size reduction equipment to digester type can thus determine the success or failure of the process.

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.
