Bridging optofluidics and plasmonic nanotechnology for sustainable photocatalytic water purification
This study explores the innovative use of planar optofluidic microreactors directly packed with Au/TiO₂ nanoflowers to enhance photocatalytic water purification, emphasizing the potential of integrated optofluidic systems with plasmonic effect for sustainable water treatment and energy applications.
Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Stable isotope evidence for pre-colonial maize agriculture and animal management in the Bolivian Amazon
Biochemical analysis of the bone collagen of humans and muscovy ducks reveals the significance of maize to diets at the same time as significant socioeconomic complexity.
