Researchers converted sawdust into cellulose particles and tested them across water retention, barley growth, synthetic dye removal, and wound healing in mice. The results showed application-specific effects: sawdust retained the most water; clay plus nanocellulose supported strong barley growth; both materials decolorized selected dyes; and nanocellulose-treated wounds showed promising closure patterns that warrant further preclinical study. 09/20/2026

Researchers engineered DNA double-crossover tiles with precisely controlled hydrophobic segments, allowing the balance between DNA base pairing and hydrophobic association to determine the order of nanoscale assembly. Shorter hydrophobic chains favored star-like structures, while longer chains produced crosslinked spherical nucleic acids with enhanced biological stability and annealing-driven self-sorting. 09/20/2026
