A research report in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), published by Elsevier, examined how the rapid digitalization of the retail food environment is reshaping food access in the United States and highlights implications for public health nutrition research, practice, and policy. The authors describe how online grocery platforms, mobile food delivery applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital marketing are transforming the way consumers encounter and purchase food.

An interim update to the landmark State of the World’s Migratory Species of 2024 warns that 49% of migratory species populations protected under a global treaty are declining, up 5% in just two years, and 24% of species face extinction, up 2%. The new warnings will be presented to the 15^th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS COP15), a legally-binding UN treaty, in Campo Grande Brazil March 23-29.

Electromagnetic radiation interferes with the operation of electronic devices and poses a threat to human health, while traditional microwave absorbing materials are difficult to meet the core requirements of being "thin, light, wide and strong". Inspired by the structure of coral reefs, a Chinese research team has designed a ZnNiCo-LDH/MXene composite material. Through biomimetic porous structures and high-density heterojunction engineering, it achieves an electromagnetic reflection loss of -49.6 dB at a thickness of 1.35 mm and a radar cross-section suppression of -39.57 dB · m². This breakthrough provides a brand-new approach to solving the problems of electromagnetic pollution and military stealth technology.
