Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Sustainable Landscape Development with Regional Parks - Overcoming Problems of Landscape Multifunctionality in Urban Agglomerations [PDF]
Urban agglomerations all over Europe are growing at the expense of the surrounding landscapes. Given the enormous growth of built-up land for settlement and transport use within recent decades in Western and Southern Europe and, more recently, comparable

Exploring ornamental plants for birds in Forest Research Institute Malaysia, Kepong urban forest setting / Sabrina Idilfitri [PDF]
, 2014 Urban drift or urbanisation leads to maximum impact in human daily activities that entirely changes rural landscape into urban style. It also led to an increasing stress (social aspect) and living costs (economic aspect) and invasion of exotic species ...

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a phosphorus‐doped cobalt single‐atom catalyst that enhances high‐valent cobalt–oxo species generation for water purification. This atomic‐level tuning boosts the catalyst's activity by 3.5 times, enabling efficient pollutant degradation. A continuous‐flow reactor achieves high, long‐term removal efficiency, producing water with low

People's perceptions and classifications of sounds heard in urban parks : semantics, affect and restoration [PDF]
, 2007 Sounds have been broadly categorized by researchers into ‘human’, ‘nature’ and ‘mechanical’. It is less clear if the general public define and classify sounds in the same way and which factors influence their classification process. Establishing people’

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...
