Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Faraday–Ramsey Rotation in Ultrathin Alkali Vapor Cells as an Analogy to Atomic‐Beam Systems

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that ultrathin rubidium vapor cells can emulate atomic‐beam behavior through geometry‐dependent velocity filtering. Employing a spatially separated pump–probe scheme and Faraday–Ramsey rotation, the study reveals coherent atomic dynamics without buffer gas or anti‐relaxation coatings. This approach offers a compact pathway toward

Composition characteristics and metal binding capacity of dissolved organic matter in the agriculture‐dominated Tuhai River

River, EarlyView.
Abstract An essential part of river ecosystems, dissolved organic matter (DOM) has an enormous effect on the transport and variability of heavy metals. Nonetheless, our understanding of how the DOM affects heavy metal behavior in agricultural rivers remains limited. In this research, the DOM characteristics and effects on heavy metals (Cu2+, Zn2+, and

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

Enhancing Zn Deposition Reversibility on MXene Current Collectors by Forming ZnF2‐Containing Solid‐Electrolyte Interphase for Anode‐Free Zinc Metal Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of electrolyte additives on Zn plating behavior on intercalative‐type 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene current collectors in anode‐free AZMBs. The co‐addition of Li‐salt and PC generates a ZnF2‐containing hybrid SEI layer that promotes homogeneous Zn deposition, achieving an average Coulombic efficiency of 96.8% for Zn plating ...

Ion‐Regulating SPEEK–BNNS Hybrid Interfaces Enabling Low‐Barrier Zn‐Ion Transport and Dendrite‐Free Zinc Anodes

Small, EarlyView.
A scalable organic–inorganic hybrid protective layer composed of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) and boron nitride nanosheets is introduced to stabilize Zn‐metal anodes. The hybrid architecture regulates Zn2+ transport, suppresses dendrite growth, and mitigates parasitic reactions, enabling uniform Zn deposition and long‐term stable cycling in ...

Additive Manufacturing of Hot‐Work Tool Steel by In Situ Alloying Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Directed Energy Deposition—Strategies to Improve Chemical Homogeneity

steel research international, EarlyView.
To support future alloy development a powder mixture is processed by laser additive manufacturing. The powder mixture containing Mo‐ and W‐rich tracers is processed by powder bed fusion using single and double laser exposure and by directed energy deposition which provides drastically enlarged melt pools.

Dynamic Adaptive Label Assignment for Tiny Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite technology, the application of tiny object detection in remote sensing images is becoming increasingly widespread. Although significant progress has been made in the accuracy and speed of object detection in recent years, performance declines sharply when general object detectors ...
