Plastics play a crucial role in modern life, but improper use and disposal have resulted in microplastics becoming widespread in the environment, raising significant concerns about both the environment and human health. Extensive research has explored the transformation mechanisms, bioaccumulation, ecological impacts, and health risks associated with microplastics.

Developing moist-electric array device using screen printing technology that meets mass customization, high power output, and wearable capabilities is very attractive for sustainable mobile power. However, the design of sandwich stacked moist-electric array devices and their screen printing patterning manufacturing process are still challenging. Here, we developed a large-scale fine construction strategy for ion diode nano-channels compatible with screen printing process.

Electrocoagulation (EC) has been a well-known technology for wastewater treatment over the past centuries, owing to its straightforward equipment requirements and highly effective contaminant removal efficiency. This literature review emphasizes the influence of several input variables in the EC system such as electrode materials, applied current, pH, supporting electrolyte, and inner-electrode distance on effluent removal efficiency and energy consumption.

This study is significant because it highlights the importance of accurate ice thickness estimations for glaciological and hydrological research, which are essential for predicting glacier behavior and assessing water resources. By identifying limitations in current modeling techniques, it underscores the need for improved models and more extensive field measurements to enhance understanding of glacier dynamics and their implications for climate change, sea level rise, and freshwater availability.

Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals with strong carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds, making them resistant to environmental degradation. Their widespread presence in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water, is a serious environmental threat. This artciles demonstrates the potential of novel adsorbents to achieve high PFAS removal rates while minimizing secondary contamination risks.

This study demonstrates that aerobic exercise, specifically swimming training, improves learning and memory in Alzheimer's disease model mice by enhancing glymphatic system function and promoting AQP4 polarization, which facilitates clearance of β-amyloid in the hippocampus. These findings suggest that exercise-induced upregulation of Lama1 and Dp71 supports glymphatic clearance mechanisms, thereby reducing Aβ deposition and cognitive impairment.
