Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems and Their Services
, 2023 Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being. Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global climate system by regulating cycles of heat, water and elements, including carbon.

Switching of Magnetic Order via Non‐Magnetic Al Addition in FeCoNiMnAlx Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Non‐magnetic Al addition provides a sensitive handle to switch the magnetic order in high entropy FeCoNiMnAlx thin films via fcc to bcc phase transformation. Films with fcc structure exhibit a large exchange bias, while bcc films exhibit enhanced ferromagnetic properties, reflecting the magnetic ground state of Mn which switches from antiferromagnetic ...
