ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Mitochondrial Adaptation to Mechanical Stress in Cardiac Ageing and Disease
Mechanical forces shape the heart's energy factories. This review explores how mitochondria in cardiac cells sense and respond to biomechanical stress, altering their structure, positioning, and metabolism. By linking mechanical cues to mitochondrial adaptation, the article highlights pathways driving heart disease and points to new strategies for ...

Molecular Assembly Unlocks Dual‐Defect Synergy in Carbon Nitride for Efficient H2O2 Photosynthesis
A long‐standing puzzle in making catalysts for hydrogen peroxide is broken. The innovation is a synthesis strategy that creates two synergistic defect sites (cyano defects and N vacancy defects). This synergy enables highly efficient and selective H2O2 production.
