Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Selective Lithium Recovery via Photothermal Evaporation and Hydration‐Controlled Adsorption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bilayer Mo‐LDH@Sponge composite is developed to couple interfacial photothermal evaporation with hydration‐controlled lithium adsorption. Solar‐induced heating dynamically regulates Li+ hydration and transport, enabling selective lithium capture from saline water. This work provides mechanistic insight into photothermal–adsorption coupling for energy‐

Intrinsic PPG–ECG Coupling for Accurate and Low‐Power Blood Pressure Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A PPG–ECG coupling strategy for continuous blood pressure monitoring that intrinsically synchronizes signals within a single waveform is demonstrated, minimizing synchronization errors and hardware complexity. This approach halves power consumption while maintaining high accuracy, enabling compact, energy‐efficient wearable devices for personalized ...

Oil‐Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oil‐rich food contact dramatically amplifies MNP release from plastic takeout containers, producing oil‐coated nanoplastics with altered surface properties and rapid membrane‐disruptive effects. These particles cause severe intestinal barrier damage and immune dysfunction in mice, and risk modeling suggests that long‐term gastrointestinal burdens may ...

Regional security cooperation

Published: 13 February 2024 What are the different kinds of regional security organisations that exist? What theoretical tools do we have to explain the emergence of regional frameworks across the world? And how do they vary from an institutional and operational point of view? In this chapter, we show that regional security cooperation projects vary in

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Repeated Disuse Atrophy Imprints a Molecular Memory in Skeletal Muscle: Transcriptional Resilience in Young Adults and Susceptibility in Aged Muscle

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Repeated disuse imprints a molecular memory in skeletal muscle, conferring transcriptional resilience in young adults but exaggerated susceptibility in aged muscle, driven by epigenetic regulation of aerobic metabolism, mitochondrial and NAD+ pathways.
