Motor imagery (MI) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for neurorehabilitation, enabling motor function restoration through mental rehearsal of movements. However, traditional MI electroencephalogram (EEG) classification models face significant challenges due to hi...

The urgent need for food system sustainability is clear, with huge and innovative opportunities to improve protein-rich food sustainability [1]. No common definition of “alternative proteins” was found via scoping review. Alternative protein (AP) foods varied by culture and geography and inc...

Participatory design practice has existed since the 1970s in various forms. Diving into a trend that has picked up traction in recent years, this study aims to explore the guiding principles of ‘co’ terms and the applicability of co-design in public service development. This i...

Summary: Plastic pollution represents a pervasive global environmental challenge. However, the lack of globally harmonized monitoring hinders the development of targeted interventions. Here, we develop a rank-based approach combining over 5,300 shoreline surveys and Monte Carlo analysis to pres...

A scoping review shows no shared definition of “alternative proteins” (AP); labels span from plant-based, fungal/mycoprotein, insect, cultured meat, fermentation-derived, to even underutilised animal meats varying by context and geography. Evidence about how AP are taught in culinary education an...

Within an increased global focus on the Blue Economy, seaweed has the potential to play a much larger role in the future of the UK food systems contributing to multiple environmental, economic, social and health benefits. Seaweed is currently used along the UK food chain ...

Fretting fatigue is a highly damaging failure mode, yet its strong performance scatter poses a major challenge for accurate prediction, with microstructural characteristics, especially grain orientation, being a key intrinsic factor. This study investigates how grain orientation affects fretting fatig...

A representative cross-recycled wrought aluminium alloy, Al–1.33Si–1.28Mg–0.97Cu–0.88Zn–0.51Fe–0.57Mn–0.14Cr–0.09Ti (wt.%), was designed based on mixed 1xxx–7xxx series compositions with maximised impurity levels to emulate realistic recycling streams. To enhance impurity tolerance and microstructural stability in such comple...
