arXiv:2602.16650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Polymer literature contains a large and growing body of experimental knowledge, yet much of it is buried in unstructured text and inconsistent terminology, making systematic retrieval and reasoning difficult. Existing tools typically extract narrow, study-specific facts in isolation, failing to preserve the cross-study context required to answer broader scientific questions. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) offers a promising way to overcome this limitation by combining large language models (LLMs) with external retrieval, but its effectiveness depends strongly on how domain knowledge is represented. In this work, we develop two retrieval pipelines: a dense semantic vector-based approach (VectorRAG) and a graph-based approach (GraphRAG). Using over 1,000 polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) papers, we construct context-preserving paragraph embeddings and a canonicalized structured knowledge graph supporting entity disambiguation and multi-hop
La Trobe University researchers have developed a new way to measure and report the environmental performance of farms in a move that could pave the way for future "sustainability ratings" on consumer food and fiber products. Published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, the measurement, developed across 50 mixed grazing and cropping farms in south-eastern Australia, addresses one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture: the rising demand for accurate, farm-level data on biodiversity, ecosystem services and environmental sustainability.
A new scientific review highlights a growing environmental challenge linked to modern food production. Researchers report that waste from livestock and aquaculture operations now contains a complex mix of emerging contaminants that can spread through ecosystems and ultimately affect human health.

Scientists have pinpointed crucial genetic resistance to a fungal disease which threatens the global banana supply in a wild subspecies of the fruit.In a valuable step forward for banana breeding programs, Dr Andrew Chen and Professor Elizabeth Aitken from The University of Queensland have identified the genomic region that controls resistance to Fusarium wilt Sub Tropical Race 4 (STR4).
An ecosystem is not a still life. Even where everything looks stable—a woodland, a lake, the soil—the internal "bookkeeping" keeps changing: how many individuals belong to which species, and for how long. Some populations expand, others crash. That dynamism is part of what we call biodiversity, but it also carries risk: when numbers are very low, chance events and short spells of unfavorable conditions can increase the likelihood that a species disappears locally.

A global study has revealed the conditions under which non-native plants thrive in the world's many dryland regions and the factors that limit their spread. Using data from 98 study sites across 25 countries on six continents, researchers found that non-native plants often grow faster than native species and are particularly successful in areas with intensive grazing and nutrient-rich soils. However, their success is significantly reduced in ecosystems with a high diversity of native plant species.

arXiv:2602.13535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Metallic plating systems composed of titanium and its alloys remain the standard treatment for craniofacial bony fixation but may require secondary removal due to infection, implant migration, or discomfort. Thus, biodegradable metallic implants may eliminate complications and secondary procedures while maintaining structural integrity. Our previous work demonstrated the fabrication of immiscible Fe-AZ31 composites via additive manufacturing with improved degradation kinetics over pure Iron. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of Fe-AZ31 composites for potential craniofacial fixation applications. Pure iron (Fe), Mg alloy (AZ31) and Fe-AZ31 samples were fabricated for extract-based cytotoxicity testing using HFF-1 fibroblasts, L929 fibroblasts and hFOB osteoblasts. Metal extracts were prepared at a 3 cm^2/mL surface-to-volume ratio in complete media at 37C and cell viability was measured by live/dead
arXiv:2602.13496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 1. Many ecological decisions are slowed by the gap between collecting and analysing biodiversity data. Edge computing moves processing closer to the sensor, with edge artificial intelligence (AI) enabling on-device inference, reducing reliance on data transfer and continuous connectivity. In principle, this shifts biodiversity monitoring from passive logging towards autonomous, responsive sensing systems. In practice, however, adoption remains fragmented, with key architectural trade-offs, performance constraints, and implementation challenges rarely reported systematically. 2. Here, we analyse 82 studies published between 2017 and 2025 that implement edge computing for biodiversity monitoring across acoustic, vision, tracking, and multi-modal systems. We synthesise hardware platforms, AI model optimisation, and wireless communication to critically assess how design choices shape ecological inference, deployment longevity, and

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published November 24, 2024. I interviewed Ashley Armstrong, co-founder of Angel Acres Egg Co. and a leading advocate for regenerative agriculture. Ashley’s unique perspective bridges the gap between optimal health practices and sustainable farming, offering invaluable insights into how our food systems and dietary choices profoundly impact well-being. Ashley began her health journey alongside her sister, Sarah, under the moniker "Strong Sisters." Initially focused on weightlifting and resistance training, they documented their progress and reveled in the empowerment that came with physical strength. "It was so empowering … It's you versus you," Ashley shared. 1 However, their path took a significant turn when both encountered health issues linked to their dietary choices, particularly the prevalence of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and processed ingredients. Sarah was diagnosed with a form of
The food system in America is broken. It's set up in a way that greatly profits Big Food, leaving consumers unhealthy in the aftermath. This is the central premise of the 2025 documentary "Breaking Big Food," which was produced by Jigsaw Health. 1 Food is the cornerstone of optimal health, and as the saying goes, you are what you eat. In the documentary, entrepreneurs Patrick and Ashley Sullivan explore how unhealthy eating paved the way to obesity, autoimmune disease, and a host of other disorders to many Americans. The worst part is that this is all by design. However, not all hope is lost. Small, independent farmers have stepped up and are committed to helping people take control of their health. I encourage you to watch the documentary, as it gives insight into how Big Food operates, and what you can do to break free from its clutches.

Technology is reshaping nearly every stage of how we eat — from distribution and selection to purchase and consumption. Lunch arrives with a tap on a delivery app. Groceries appear at the door hours after an online order. Some consumers now pay using nothing more than their face, while others ask artificial intelligence (AI) assistants what to eat or which coffee beans suit their taste.

With an academic background in food science and biotechnology, he founded the FoodTech Department at SNU six years ago and runs the FoodTech Emergence Center on campus, where students are trained to build food tech businesses. Food tech refers to technologies applied to food consumption and distribution, which Lee distinguishes from traditional food technology. “Food technology has more to do with production, using engineering and science, often
