The transition to aqueous cathode processing is essential for achieving sustainable lithium‐ion battery production. Replacing the widely used solvent, N ‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP), with water poses challenges, particularly due to rapid pH increases during processing. This leads to aluminum...

Encapsulation of fish oil within oleogels can potentially prevent oxidation and enable its use in food with programmable release within the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report on the formation of oleogels from two different fish oils—salmon oil (SO) and cod liver oil (CLO)—using different...

As aluminium (Al) recycling increases, the composition of minor elements in recycled Al fluctuates significantly. Trace elements in Al alloys can lead to serious defects; for example, the combination of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) can cause corrosion issues, even when the alloys produced from recycled...

Hydrogen sorption and desorption in natural rocks are increasingly referenced across subsurface energy and environmental applications, including underground hydrogen storage, natural hydrogen exploration, geological hydrogen generation, and radioactive waste containment. However, the extent to which...

A hybrid composite material composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated with polypyrrole (PPy) and redox-active phenol red (PR) counter-anions was successfully synthesized in a straightforward route using an ethanol medium. The fabricated hybrid composite combines the electrical...

The clinical application of carbon nanotube (CNT) based solutions has sparked debate within the scientific community, primarily due to concerns about their non-biodegradability, potential long-term toxicity and bioaccumulation in organs and tissues. A significant challenge in evaluating the health...

Secondary or specialized metabolites show extraordinary structural diversity and potent biological activities relevant for clinical and industrial applications. The biosynthesis of these metabolites usually starts with the assembly of a core ‘scaffold’, which is subsequently modified by tailoring...

Background Chronic stress in aquaculture poses major challenges to fish welfare, health, and productivity. Detecting compromised welfare early requires validated biomarkers that link operational welfare indicators (OWIs) to underlying neuroendocrine states, including allostatic load and stress...

The implementation of recirculation of return air has garnered significant attention as a energy-saving strategy in ventilation systems. It has gained widespread utilization in countries like the USA and China due the possibly to reduce energy use for heating and dehumidification. In contrast...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is hypothesized to play a role in the pathophysiology of psychosis. However, studying this structure in living humans is challenging due to limitations in current methods that fail to identify subtle changes or dysfunctions. We aimed to develop a method to isolate...

Synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics requires precise control over their translation to minimize off-target effects. We introduce an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-based switch concept that regulates synthetic mRNA translation based on the presence of a complementary trigger RNA (trigRNA...

Using the one-strain-many-compounds (OSMAC) culturing approach, metabolomic studies, and bioassay-guided purification, we have isolated and characterised three new chlorinated natural products, agelolines B-D (1–3), together with two known compounds, ageloline A (4) and gausemycin A (5), which have...

Aims: To describe: (i) Experiences of older patients with cancer after receiving an intervention based on geriatric assessment with management. (ii) Experiences of cancer nurses in municipal health care from implementing an intervention based on geriatric assessment with management and their...

Circular strategies of prolonging and closing resource flows within the economy hold the potential of avoiding greenhouse gas emissions and reducing other environmental impacts. There are several circularity indexing systems that account for material circularity in buildings. However, there is a...

Iron sulfide concentrations and mineral associations triggering the internal deterioration of concrete structures are still enigmatic. Incidences of internal sulfate attacks induced by iron sulfide-containing concrete aggregates appear worldwide. Severe cases are reported from Canada, the United...

Nanocomposite hydrogels, i.e.; a combination of hydrogels and nanoparticles, have emerged as a promising platform for drug delivery owing to the high degree of design flexibility. Despite the wealth of literature on nanocomposite hydrogels, there is scant experimental data on the release of drug...
