arXiv:2602.18835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Food waste management is critical for sustainability, yet inorganic contaminants hinder recycling potential. Robotic automation presents a compelling approach to this challenge by accelerating the sorting process through automated contaminant removal. Still, the diverse and unpredictable nature of contaminants creates major challenges for robotic grasping. Benchmarking frameworks are critical for evaluating challenges from various perspectives. However, existing protocols rely on limited simulation datasets, prioritise simple metrics such as success rate, and overlook key object and environment-related pre-grasp conditions. This paper introduces GRAB, a comprehensive Grasping Real-World Article Benchmarking framework that addresses this gap by integrating diverse deformable objects, advanced grasp-pose-estimation vision, and, importantly, pre-grasp conditions, establishing a set of critical graspability metrics.

Rice, maize and cassava together account for roughly 11% of total global deforestation - more than cocoa, coffee, and rubber - according to Swedish researchers who analysed agriculture-linked deforestation between 2001 and 2022. The study was based on computer simulations called the 'Deforestation Driver and Carbon Emissions (DeDuCE) model', which combines satellite data on tree cover loss with agricultural data across 184 food types in 179 countries. In total, they say, 121 million hectares of forest were lost from 2001 to 2022 as croplands, pastures, and forest plantations expanded, resulting in 41.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. Unlike some crop types which are concentrated in specific regions, deforestation from staple foods was evenly distributed around the world, the researchers add. The findings suggest staple crops should not be overlooked in global efforts to reduce deforestation, they conclude.

Plants have an immune system, like people, and when it is triggered by threats like disease or pests, a plant's defenses are activated. But there's a downside to this protective mechanism: the plant's growth is suppressed when its immune system is turned on. Colorado State University researchers have found a way to boost a plant's growth while maintaining its immunity through a hormone treatment that shows promise for food production.

Biodiversity is changing across the planet, yet governments still lack the robust, consistent data needed to track these changes and guide effective conservation.

Deep in the Arctic north, drained peatlands—once massive carbon vaults built over thousands of years—are quietly leaking greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But new field research from northern Norway suggests there’s a powerful way to slow that loss: raise the water level. In a two-year study, scientists found that restoring higher groundwater levels in cultivated Arctic peatlands dramatically cut carbon dioxide emissions, and in some cases even tipped the balance so the land absorbed more CO₂ than it released.

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
