The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

Cities worldwide are experiencing increased extreme heat due to the synergistic effects of global warming and the urban heat island (UHI) effect (1, 2).According to Tuholske et al. (), global exposure ...

Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for effective disease management, particularly in bloodstream infections. Current molecular diagnostics often require nucleic acid preamplification, adding time and ...

We demonstrate that substitutionally inert octahedral metal complexes, such as the iridium(III) carbene complex (1a), provide a useful source of potent inhibitors for unexplored oncogenic protein ...

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 ...

Auxin regulates plant growth and development through downstream signaling pathways, including the best-known SCF TIR1/AFB-Aux/IAA-ARF pathway and several other less characterized “noncanonical” ...

The human brain produces complex spatiotemporal neural dynamics across multiple time and length scales. Abstracting the brain as a large-scale network of discrete interacting regions has proved ...

For millions of years, plants and herbivorous insects have engaged in an intense arms race. To evade or withstand attacks, plants have developed sophisticated immune systems, ranging from signal ...

This study changes our view of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) initiation and progression. Mutations promoting cerebral beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition guarantee rare genetic forms of AD. Thus, the prevailing ...

Biomass-burning organic aerosol(s) (BBOA) not only significantly impact Earth’s climate by absorbing solar radiation but also generate excited triplet states (3 BBOA *) that react with other ...

Moiré excitons in van der Waals (vdW) structures are of particular interest for both fundamental science and cutting-edge applications. The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic ...

Melanocytes are specialized cells that originate from neural crest cells (NCCs) and contain melanin-rich melanosomes. These cells are crucial for skin pigmentation that serves a protective function ...
