Zhou et al. (1) recently reported the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) in China’s upland croplands from 1980 to 2023, with significant SOC accumulation in the upper 0 to 60 cm soil layers but ...

Our research sheds light on the fascinating molecular mechanism behind the insect green camouflage, a mystery that has intrigued scientists for over a century. By isolating and identifying a unique ...

GdPtBi and NdPtBi belong to the Heusler family of compounds and are conventional antiferromagnets below 9 and 2.1 K, respectively. We present evidence for magnetic-field–induced Weyl physics in these ...

During deetiolation of Arabidopsis seedlings, light promotes the expansion of cotyledons but inhibits the elongation of hypocotyls. The mechanism of this differential regulation of cell enlargement ...

Understanding how ecosystems respond to ubiquitous microplastic (MP) pollution is crucial for ensuring global food security. Here, we conduct a multiecosystem meta-analysis of 3,286 data points and ...

Prime numbers play a central role in analytic number theory, and are well known to be very well distributed among the reduced residue classes (mod q). Surprisingly, the same does not appear to be true ...

Realization of a safe, low-cost rechargeable lithium battery of high energy density and long cycle life is needed for powering an electric road vehicle and for storing electric power generated by ...

Wei et al. (1) report a net carbon dioxide (CO 2) sink of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) by using a regional-scale eddy covariance observation network. They also project a substantial enhancement of the CO ...

Increasingly, we face compounding and interrelated environmental, socioeconomic, and political crises. Yet our approaches to these problems are often siloed, fragmented, and inadequate. The current ...

Animal models and human studies suggest that forever chemicals, delivered through water, food, and air, alter the immune system, potentially diminishing our ability to fight disease or respond to a ...

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal, a century in waitingThe property n ^ ≡ n ^ shapes an anisotropic dielectric response to an electric field. When the field E acts on N, positive and negative ...
