Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage: Groundwater for Efficient Data Center Cooling in the United States

Groundwater, EarlyView.
As the demand for data centers continues to rise exponentially, there is an urgent need to explore sustainable and efficient alternatives to conventional cooling systems for data centers. This article explores aquifer thermal energy storage as a technically viable and underutilized solution for data center cooling in the United States.

Enrichment and Genomic Characterization of a N2O-Reducing Chemolithoautotroph From a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas and also leads to stratospheric ozone depletion. In natural environments, only a single N2O sink process is the microbial reduction of N2O to N2, which is mediated by nitrous oxide reductase (NosZ) encoded by nosZ ...

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Synergistic Sunlight‐Activated Photodynamic and Near‐Infrared‐Induced Mild Photothermal Therapy for Infected Wound Healing Using Functionalized Nano‐Bi2WO6 Composites

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
This work proposes a multifunctional Bi2WO6:Yb,Er@CuS@CS nanocomposite that integrates photodynamic therapy (PDT), near‐infrared‐triggered photothermal therapy (PTT), and Cu2+ release for infected wound repair. The nanocomposite demonstrates enhanced antibacterial efficacy via combined PDT, PTT, and Cu2+ release, effective immunomodulatory by mild ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Spatial and temporal groundwater biogeochemical variability help inform subsurface connectivity within a high-altitude Alpine catchment (Riale di Ronco, Switzerland)

Frontiers in Microbiology
Accessing the deep terrestrial subsurface (greater than 1 km below the surface) presents significant practical challenges, leaving these ecosystems largely uncharacterized despite their extensive presence beneath Earth's landmasses.

Microbial stimulation and succession following a test well injection simulating CO2 leakage into a shallow Newark basin aquifer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In addition to efforts aimed at reducing anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases, geological storage of CO2 is being explored as a strategy to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and mitigate climate change.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

High biodiversity in a benzene-degrading nitrate-reducing culture is sustained by a few primary consumers

Communications Biology, 2021
Chrats Melkonian and colleagues use metagenomics and transcriptomics to study microbial dynamics in a 15-year old bioreactor. In contrast to what is expected in a system where benzene is the primary carbon and energy source, relatively few members of the

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
