Biogel scavenging slows the sinking of organic particles to the ocean depths
(2025)NATURE COMMUNICATIONSOne of Earth's largest carbon fluxes is driven by particles made from photosynthetically fixed matter, which aggregate and sink into the deep ocean. While biodegradation is known to reduce this vertical flux, the biophysical processes that control particle sinking speed are not well understood. Here, we use a vertical millifluidic column to video-track single particles and find that biogels scavenged by particles during sinking significantly ...Journal Article -
Delayed leaf green-up is associated with fine particulate air pollution in China
(2025)NATURE COMMUNICATIONSClimate warming has led to earlier leaf green-up dates (GUD) with a greening trend of land surfaces in spring, yet the influence of multi-source particle pollution is not well understood. Using ground records and satellite observations of green-up date and fine particulate matter below 2.5 mu m (PM2.5) over the last two decades in China, here we show that PM2.5 pollution is associated with reduced plant carbon uptake and delayed green-up ...Journal Article -
Flooded with potential: urban drainage science as seen by early-career researchers
(2025)Water Science & TechnologyThis opinion paper reflects on the current challenges facing urban drainage systems (UDS) research, along with solutions for fostering sustainable development. Over the course of a year-long project involving 92 participants aged 24-38, including PhD candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and early-career academics, we identified critical challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of UDS. Our exploration highlights four ...Journal Article -
Water and ions binding to extracellular matrix drives stress relaxation, aiding MRI detection of swelling-associated pathology
(2025)Nature Biomedical EngineeringSwelling-associated changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) occur in many pathological conditions involving inflammation or oedema. Here we show that alterations in the proportion of loosely bound water in ECM correlate with changes in ECM elasticity and stress relaxation, owing to the strength of water binding to ECM being primarily governed by osmolality and the electrostatic properties of proteoglycans. By using mechanical testing and ...Journal Article
