Embodied impacts of Australian building materials highlight trade-offs for sustainability policy

In our Cell Reports Sustainability editorial this month, we discuss the potential of chemical solutions in tackling some of the grand challenges we face. The coming decades will define whether chemistry remains a source of environmental burden or becomes a driver of regeneration Read it here:

A theoretical upper limit for offshore wind energy extraction

Aggregate-then-concentrate microfluidics for rapid detection of nanoplastics and submicroplastics

24-h atmospheric water harvesting for green hydrogen production using a durable organic aerogel
