Turning waste into ceramic performance
Can ceramic tiles be made from mining waste? We show that diatom-rich marl discarded in Spanish quarries can be transformed into synthetic wollastonite, lowering firing temperatures and reducing imports, costs and environmental footprint.
The levers for a sustainable food system
Our food system is not performing well for public health, social justice and environmental pollution. How would a better food system look like?
Expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management
Policy goals to reduce risks from agricultural pesticides have been set on global, national, and regional levels. But potential effects of a transformation are unclear. We provide a global assessment of the expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management.
Delivering Light on Topical Collection “Discover Advances in the Design and Synthesis of Nano- Optics and Applications”
Recently it was reported High bright mono-coloured light delivery by confined laser dyes within single and dimeric silicon photonics nanoplatforms for Bio-FRET speciation assays. It was shown how Nanophotonics could provide us new Nanotools made of Light for Biophotonics!
