Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Assessment of the Food–Energy–Water Nexus Considering the Carbon Footprint and Trade-Offs in Crop Production Systems in China

Land
To elucidate the food–energy–water (FEW) nexus, in this paper, a food–energy–water–carbon (FEWC) measurement method is established, and the evolutionary mechanisms within the nexus are determined to optimize crop production systems (CPSs). A quantitative
