An architecture‐guided recycling process enables selective metal recovery from end‐of‐life perovskite solar modules by exploiting interfacial accessibility and calcination‐induced phase transformation. The process achieves >99.8% Pb removal, >99.7% In recovery, and >96.1% Cu recovery, while selectively retaining Sn in leaching residue.

Management Policy of Green Open Space in Urban Area [PDF]
Part of urban space that contains crops, plants and vegetation is known as the Green Open Space (GOS). Several urban areas, with extensive changes and undeveloped land, require the City Green Open Space (CGOS), which can be a 'counterweight' to the ...

Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

Blocking Honeybee Preference for Neonicotinoids by Interfering With Dopamine Signaling
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) paradoxically prefer nectar containing the harmful neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. This preference is associated with transient brain dopamine elevation during proboscis extension reflex (PER) responses and active feeding, and is reduced by the dopamine receptor antagonist fluphenazine.
