Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Metasurfaces in Adaptive Optics: A New Opportunity in Optical Wavefront Sensing
Wavefront sensing constitutes a critical component of adaptive optics systems, aimed at quantitatively measuring distorted wavefronts and enabling closed‐loop correction in optical setups. Metasurfaces, as planar optical elements composed of nanoscale structures, provide exceptional freedom in modulating multiple dimensions of the light field.

ABSTRACT Rapid Arctic warming accelerates permafrost thaw, altering water flow and organic matter transport to aquatic ecosystems. To identify sources and seasonality of OC at the mouth of the Lena River, we measured summer and winter concentrations and C isotopes (∆14C and δ13C) of DOC and POC along a 140‐km transect of the Lena Delta.

ABSTRACT Metallothioneins (MTLs) are small, cysteine‐rich proteins known for their ability to bind metal ions and exhibit flexible, disordered structures. The structural and functional characteristics of metallothionein I (MTL‐1) from Caenorhabditis elegans were investigated, focusing on its behavior in both metal free (MTL‐1 Apo) and metal‐bond states

Towards a Sustainable Future: Addressing Climate Change and Promoting Sustainable Development
ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze policy research and global agreements on the decarbonization of economic development. Climate change and economic development are separate and equal, and strategies should separate responsibility from action. This will be required beyond the Kyoto and Paris agreements.
