In this work, authors investigate mechanisms of noncatalytic soot oxidation and establish models applicable to different types of soot based on the particles oxidation behaviour using in-situ transmission electron microscopy.

Concentration polarization electroosmosis (CPEO) has recently been found to produce similar flow patterns around spheres in an AC electric field as induced charge electroosmosis. Katzmeier and Simmel study the flow around the asymmetric particle dimers caused by CPEO and design a microrobot that can be steered with a joystick and facilitates the transport of cargo particles.

Polymersomes, as analogues of liposomes, have interesting physical and chemical properties, but have not yet been translated into clinical or industrial applications. Here, the authors report the development of a continuous flow process for the production of polymersomes at scale.

Saturated α-alkyl aza-heterocycles are found in a wide array of bioactive molecules. Here, the authors disclosed a one-pot, catalytic enantioselective synthesis of pyrrolidine, piperidine and indolizidine alkaloids from amides and alkynes.

Here the authors demonstrate on-chip single-photon source providing two emission channels with individual direction and polarization control of each channel by implementing a plasmonic holographic metasurface coupled to a Ge-vacancy nanodiamond.

Food production, especially of animal products, is a major source of air pollutants. Here, the authors quantify the impacts dietary changes towards more plant-based diets could have for air quality, labour productivity, and human health.

Autonomous electric vehicles reduce operational emissions but increase manufacturing emissions due to rebound effects. Recycling helps, but their full life cycle emits 8% more greenhouse gases. Embrace renewable energy, circular economy, cleaner manufacturing, and improved efficiency.

Heat and moisture stress can reduce carbon uptake by forests. Here, the authors quantify this effect for the extreme 2022 European summer drought. The widespread reduction of photosynthesis exceeded the large local carbon release by intense fires.

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt is a hazard for coastal communities. Elevated N and P in the GASB are measured, with As content reflecting P limitation. Nutrient availability causes GASB blooms but reducing P would increase As accumulation.

Processes controlling the onset of the Antarctic sea ice season remain unclear. Here, analyses of observations show that ocean solar energy storage and sea ice drift are key drivers, providing insights to understand variations in sea ice season duration.

The authors develop an integrative and scalable framework to eliminate systematic biases and retrieve high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes using either long-read or short-read metagenomic Hi-C data.

Neuronal populations in the prefrontal cortex are involved in associative learning. Here the authors use longitudinal imaging and computational approaches in the mouse prefrontal cortex to observe changes in neuronal ensembles during fear conditioning.

Despite the significance of mosquitos for human health, little research has focused on their phylogeny. Here, the authors present a resolved phylogenetic history of mosquitoes based on phylogenomics showing that these major disease vectors radiated coincidentally with geologic events and the diversification of their hosts.

Single reference genomes and short-read sequencing data are not enough to harness the full genetic variation of a species. Here, the authors report pan-genome of Arabidopsis thaliana based on chromosomal-level genomes of 32 accessions and identify variations associated with local adaptation.

YTHDF2 has been extensively studied as an m⁶A-related RNA metabolism. Here, the authors show that YTHDF2 also contributes to protein homeostasis in an m⁶A-independent manner by promoting the formation of aggresomes through its interaction with UPF1.

Deep learning models can reflect and amplify human bias, potentially resulting inaccurate missed diagnoses. Here, the authors show that by leveraging the marginal pairwise equal opportunity, their model reduces bias in medical image classification by over 35% compared to baseline models, with minimal impact on AUC values.

Natural variability in menstrual cycle length with rapid changes in gene expression makes it difficult to accurately compare different stages of the endometrial cycle. Here, the authors show a method for precisely determining endometrial cycle stage based on global gene expression that reveals remarkably synchronised daily changes for over 3,400 endometrial genes.

β-thalassemia is a prevalent genetic disorder causing severe anemia, with study of the underlying molecular defects impeded by paucity of suitable patient material. Here, the authors show that cellular model systems of βthalassemia can be used to identify new therapeutic targets and as screening platforms for new drugs and reagents.

Food production, especially of animal products, is a major source of air pollutants. Here, the authors quantify the impacts dietary changes towards more plant-based diets could have for air quality, labour productivity, and human health.

Several parameters in the bone marrow (BM) niche regulate leukaemic stem cell status and disease progression. Here, the authors show that calcium-sensing receptor affects the location of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells in the BM niche which influences self-renewal of leukaemic stem cells and AML development

Li and colleagues develop a dual water-electricity cooperation (DWEC) framework that combines water and electricity trading to meet the often-conflicting demands of participating countries in the Lancang-Mekong river basin. They discuss the potential of this framework for application in other transboundary river systems.

Food production, especially of animal products, is a major source of air pollutants. Here, the authors quantify the impacts dietary changes towards more plant-based diets could have for air quality, labour productivity, and human health.

Autonomous electric vehicles reduce operational emissions but increase manufacturing emissions due to rebound effects. Recycling helps, but their full life cycle emits 8% more greenhouse gases. Embrace renewable energy, circular economy, cleaner manufacturing, and improved efficiency.

Co-lead authors Wang, Zhang, Qiu, Lu and their colleagues model an incentive-based emergency demand response to counter heatwaves. The modelled responded leads to the peak load reduction of 7.32% for the covered households, and can achieve a 1.02% peak load reduction when reaching a wide audience with no additional financial burden on vulnerable groups.

Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) requires longer, more toxic therapy than rifampicin-sensitive disease and is associated with a higher occurrence of long-term sequelae. In this mathematical modeling study, the authors estimate that incident RR-TB in 2020 will be responsible for ~6.9 million disability-adjusted life years; 44% due to post-tuberculosis sequelae.
