The carbon isotopic composition of atmospheric CH 4 (δ13 C CH4) is a powerful tool for tracking the sources and sinks of atmospheric CH 4. Different CH 4 sources have distinctive δ 13 C CH4 values: ...
Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...
Dissimilatory phosphite oxidation (DPO), a microbial metabolism by which phosphite (HPO 32−) is oxidized to phosphate (PO 43−), is the most energetically favorable chemotrophic electron-donating ...
Root development is tightly controlled by light, and the response is thought to depend on signal transmission from the shoot. Here, we show that the root apical meristem perceives light independently ...
The brain is a complex system operating out of equilibrium with time-irreversible dynamics. Existing measures of irreversibility cannot identify which multivariate interactions display particularly ...
Growing evidence has highlighted the role of small RNAs (sRNA) as trafficking effectors for cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) between interacting organisms. Yet, it remains unknown whether ...
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 ...
Ecological divergence without geographic isolation, as an early speciation process that may lead finally to reproductive isolation through natural selection, remains a captivating topic in ...
Sorting cells with target metabolic functions from a mutant pool exhibiting substantial genetic diversity is often the rate-limiting step in synthetic biology. Here, we developed a label-free, ...
This study reveals that Cas9 nuclease-induced genotoxicity can compromise the fitness of gene-edited human chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, thereby diminishing their therapeutic efficacy ...
Protein fatty acylation, along with other types of protein lipidation (e.g., cysteine prenylation), dramatically alters protein hydrophobicity and behavior, regulating trafficking, localization, as ...
Effectively managing sewage sludge from Fenton reactions in an eco-friendly way is vital for Fenton technology’s viability in pollution treatment. This study focuses on sewage sludge across various ...
