A sunlight regenerable adsorption system enables sustainable water desalination
Development of a new adsorbent-based desalination process by utilization of sunlight for regeneration is expected to provide an energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable solution for desalination.
Starting a conversation about ocean accounting
Digital dashboards facilitate high-level conversations about national accounting and the ocean economy.
New sustainable lead management could provide relief for toxicity of lead-based perovskite solar cells
Lead-based light absorbing materials contained in perovskite solar cells have been a major barrier for their commercialization. New sustainable lead management based on the surface-meditated lead adsorbents, allows the zero-lead emission in the entire process of lead-based perovskite solar cells.
One Health aquaculture - everyone's business
Aquaculture has evolved into a major global food sector. Rapid growth necessitates an evidence and policy makeover fit for a doubling of output by 2050. A One Health approach, drawing on a broad expertise outside of traditional aquatic disciplines is now needed to realise it's full potential
Human impacts on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon distribution in Chinese intertidal zones
Intertidal zone is a transitional boundary between terrestrial and marine environments, while gathers intense human activities. Our study elucidates that profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in intertidal zones can be used to index regional development status.
