A Systematic Review of Augmented Reality, Digital Twins, and IoT Integration
Published on 2026-06-09 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractThis systematic review analyzes the synergistic integration of Digital Twin (DT), Augmented Reality (AR), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies within aquaponics systems. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we identified and analyzed studies from IEEE Xplore and Scopus (2019–2024). The review reveals that while IoT is widely adopted, the integration of DT and AR remains fragmented, failing to function as a coordinated presence medium. The analysis identifies a critical theoretical ga[...]
Our summary: This review examines the integration of Digital Twin, Augmented Reality, and Internet of Things in aquaponics. It highlights the fragmented nature of current systems and the lack of unified frameworks. The paper proposes future research on modular architectures to improve efficiency and user accessibility.

Effects of Polypropylene Microplastics and Copper Contamination on Rice Seedling Growth
Published on 2026-02-02 by Ziwen Hao, Steven Xu, Siquan Huang, Lin Wang @MDPI
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of polypropylene microplastics (PP-MPs) and copper (Cu), applied individually and in combination, on the growth (root and shoot length, fresh and dry biomass), peroxidase (POD) activity, and Cu accumulation of rice seedlings. A hydroponic experiment was conducted with four treatments: control (CK), PP, Cu, and PP+Cu. Exposure to PP-MPs slightly promoted seedling growth, whereas Cu markedly inhibited growth and induced chlorosis. Compared with Cu alone, co-expo[...]
Our summary: This study examines the effects of polypropylene microplastics and copper on rice seedling growth. Exposure to microplastics promoted growth slightly, while copper inhibited it and caused chlorosis. Co-exposure to both substances improved shoot growth and altered antioxidant responses, highlighting the complexity of their interactions.
