DOI: 10.1039/d2sc06935k
Abstract: In the quest for stimuli-responsive materials with specific, controllable functions, coacervate hydrogels have become a promising candidate, featuring sensitive responsiveness to environmental signals enabling control over sol–gel transitions. However, conventional coacervation-based materials are regulated by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.02702-18
Abstract: Methanotrophs are bacteria that sequester methane, a significant greenhouse gas, and thereby perform an important ecosystem function. Understanding the mechanisms by which these organisms interact in the environment may ultimately allow us to manipulate and… read more here.
