Understanding past climate and vegetation changes is essential to assessing the role of climate and human activity in dominating regional vegetation compositions. Here we show a wetting trend from mid- to late-Holocene over subtropical East Asia based on peat cellulose δ 18 O and a compilation...

Dryland ecosystems are generally drought-stressed and have low soil fertility. While the negative effects of drought on vegetation productivity are undisputed, it is unclear whether drought limits vegetation productivity alone or in combination with nitrogen (N) deficiency. To address this...

Electronics have an increased thermal flow density due to the development of miniaturization and high integration. Effective heat management is a pressing technological issue that must be addressed. Ionic wind cooling technology is gaining popularity as a means of improving local heat...

Developing a cost-effective and scalable strategy to synthesis of highly efficient alloy catalysts for the one-pot tandem catalytic reactions remains a challenge. In this work, a novel solid-solution confined NiCo alloy catalyst incorporating carbon (termed as NiCo/MgO-C) with banana-like...

Knowledge on the behavior and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) is poorly explored in marine aphotic environment. In this study, the degradation mechanism of a typical PPCPs—ibuprofen (IBP) by a ubiquitous marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. was investigated based on...

In this work, a series of ordered mesoporous carbon nanomaterials (CMK-3) have been synthesized by a hard-template method at temperatures of 80 o C, 100 o C and 130 o C, which can serve as adsorbents for efficient quinolones adsorption in aqueous solutions. The physicochemical properties and the...

Herein, a single-atom nickel/sulfur co-doped g-C3N4 (Ni/S-CN-N) was prepared via thermal polymerization of urea/thiourea complexes of nickel followed by secondary calcining with NH4Cl. The photocatalytic performances were evaluated by tetracycline (TC) degradation and CO2 reduction. The X-ray...
