Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) could revolutionize bioelectronics by enabling seamless integration with biological systems. This review explores their role in neural biomimicry and biointerfacing, with a focus on how backbone design, sidechain optimization, and antiambipolarity impact performance. Recent advances highlight OMIECs' biocompatibility and mechanical compliance, making them ideal for bioelectronic applications. However, challenges such as mechanical mismatch and electrical impedance remain. We discuss innovative solutions to these issues to enhance OMIEC functionality. In neuromorphic bioelectronics, OMIECs show promise for bridging artificial and biological neural systems, though further improvements in conductivity and resolution are needed. Continued innovation in materials and design is crucial to unlocking their full potential, driving advancements in both technology and medicine.

A key challenge in capturing CO from postcombustion gases is humidity due to competitive adsorption between CO and HO. Multivariate (MTV) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been considered a promising option to address this problem, e.g.

Environmental microplastics (MPs) are challenging to compare due to non-harmonized sampling and quantification methods. As MPs are predominantly composed of recalcitrant organic carbon (OC), they contribute to the total organic carbon (TOC) pool in environments. The concentration of recalcitrant carbon in microplastics (MPC) can theoretically serve as a complementary, standardized mass-based index to characterize MPs pollution levels.

Coastal zones are critical for the biogeochemical cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine ecosystems, yet the relative importance of photochemical and microbial degradation in DOM transformation remains poorly understood due to complex hydrodynamics, diverse sources, and human activities. Through 14-day laboratory incubations, we investigated DOM transformation mechanisms from three common marine coastal space uses: port, mariculture and inshore areas adjacent to Yantai City. DOM characterization was performed using fluorescence excitation-emission matrix parallel factor (EEM-PARAFAC) and UV-Vis spectroscopic indices.

Biological denitrification is an essential method for sewage treatment, though its efficiency is often constrained by low temperatures and insufficient organic carbon sources. In this study, a novel cold-tolerant heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens sp. Z03, was isolated from activated sludge, and its denitrification performance was evaluated.

Polyploidy is an important driver of the evolution and diversification of flowering plants. Several studies have shown that established polyploids differ from diploids in floral morphological traits and that polyploidization directly affects these traits. However, for floral scent, which is key to many plant-pollinator interactions, only a few studies have quantified differences between established cytotypes, and the direct effects of polyploidization on floral scent are not yet known.
