Disentangling Continental Weathering During the Late Paleozoic Ice Age
Geophysical Research LettersThe consumption of atmospheric CO2 through continental weathering played a critical role in shaping the evolution of the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), presumably driven by the Hercynian orogeny and the evolution of terrestrial plants.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Tumor Exposomics: A New Paradigm for Individualized Continuous Exposure Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tumor exposomics integrates continuous monitoring of environmental exposures, endogenous biological responses, and behavioral factors within a unified temporal framework. By combining multimodal sensing technologies with AI‐enabled causal modeling, this emerging paradigm reconstructs exposure‐damage trajectories and supports individualized dynamic risk
