Abstract New devices inspired by flying seeds, or more technically fruits with dispersal units, could have a significant impact for environmental monitoring and aerial seeding. Among the various types of units (e.g., winged, gliding), parachuted plumed offer lowest vertical descent speed (i.e., 0.3–0.7 m s −1 ), making them an appealing solution wind‐driven distribution over large areas. Here, biodegradable porous parachute flier based on cellulose acetate, Tragopogon pratensis fruit is presented. A micrometric‐thick pappus 3D printed integrated colorimetric indicator beak, micrometric pores, fabricated through injection molding leaching techniques. Thanks to bioinspired design lightweight structure, artificial mimics aerodynamics natural species. Its feasibility demonstrated in seeding integrating beak mustard seed (as model), coupling it indicators rain pH nitrate levels soils. The proposed represents advancement as first parachute‐like solution, seamlessly into ecosystems, thus contributing moving step forward solutions zero impact.

Sulfide ions cause considerable health risks such as loss of olfactory response, organ toxicity, and potentially malignant disorders. In this report, we present the design synthesis a reaction-driven nanosensing assembly based on carbon dots (CDs), cobalt oxyhydroxide nanoflakes (CoOOH NF), 1,2-bis(4-nitrobenzyl) oxy)benzene (DNBC) to detect sulfide in aqueous media. The sensing mechanism relies formation CDs-CoOOH nanoconjugate resulting quenching inherent fluorescence CDs by CoOOH NF via inner filter effect (IFE). three-component nanosensor, protected form catechol, DNBC acts pseudochemodosimeter. Upon addition S2–, it reacts with leads situ generation catechol is revived due catechol-mediated reductive disintegration framework release fluorescent CDs, thus, can be used for fast selective assay ions. This CD-CoOOH-DNBC-based nanosensor displayed nominal response toward cations, anions, small molecules, several other reducing agents offered low limit detection 0.77 ppb (24 nM). works effectively dissolved H2S gas water providing linear response. practical applicability was tested determining spiked real samples good recovery. Solid-phase S2– demonstrated using sodium alginate beads establish ability cost-effective onsite detection.
