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 ...

The multiple challenges of managing large-scale PV wastes demand a proactive approach; the costs of being underprepared or unprepared far outweigh those of early preparation. We must anticipate the ...

Electronic databases, from phone to e-mails logs, currently provide detailed records of human communication patterns, offering novel avenues to map and explore the structure of social and ...

A very efficient electrogenerated Fe0 porphyrin catalyst was obtained by substituting in tetraphenylporphyrin two of the opposite phenyl rings by o ...

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. The F 1 F o -ATP synthase of the mitochondrial inner membrane produces the bulk of cellular ATP. The respiratory chain complexes pump protons ...

This study quantifies and maps the water footprint (WF) of humanity at a high spatial resolution. It reports on consumptive use of rainwater (green ...

We show that for thousands of years, humans have concentrated in a surprisingly narrow subset of Earth’s available climates, characterized by mean annual temperatures around ∼13 °C. This distribution ...

Extracellular redox-active compounds, flavins and other quinones, have been hypothesized to play a major role in the delivery of electrons from cel ...

The universal nature of biochemistryThe processes of self-replication and evolution are not reliably detectable, even in the terrestrial setting. Consequently, in the practical search for life ...

Capillary forces arising during the evaporation of liquids from dense carbon nanotube arrays are used to reassemble the nanotubes into two-dimensional contiguous cellular foams. The stable nanotube ...

A possible clue to this challenge is the systematic discrepancy between model and observation estimates of the light absorption of atmospheric BC aerosols. Global climate models used in the latest ...

In an earlier paper, W. Kohn had qualitatively introduced the concept of “nearsightedness” of electrons in many-atom systems. It can be viewed as underlying such important ideas as Pauling's “chemical ...
