The formation of mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) is a key phenomenon that may explain the slow turnover rates of carbon in soil organic matter (SOM). Despite this, important details ...

The domestication of pigs (Sus scrofa) has had profound socioeconomic and ecological consequences. Although pigs are believed to have been independently domesticated in South China, the timing and ...

The Earth’s rotation has been decelerating throughout its history due to tidal dissipation, but the variation of the rate of this deceleration through time has not been established. We present a ...

Fifty years ago, bacteria were identified as remarkable ice nucleators that enable water freezing close to 0 °C. Their record-holding activity is key for frost damage to crops and snow making. While ...

The expansion of marine protected areas (MPAs) is a crucial part of global conservation efforts (1). The “30x30” initiative, for example, aims to protect at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 ...

The immune system is a complex network of cells with critical functions in health and disease. However, a comprehensive census of the cells comprising the immune system is lacking. Here, we estimated ...

To understand the planet’s current crisis, we need in-depth understanding of how social–ecological change accelerated in the past and how it failed or stabilized. Our study contributes to this field ...

In situ *OH species can be formed on low-valence Cu active sites when water and air are used as the solvent and oxidant, respectively. Compelling experimental evidence is presented here on the ...

We apply an innovative modeling approach to project that global boreal forests will undergo a fundamental transition toward an open forest state of 30 to 50% tree cover in the coming decades. We ...

Dysregulation of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) contributes to a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including AD. However, studying longitudinal AMPAR changes in AD animals has been a big ...

With increasing global demand for freshwater and the concurrent dwindling of traditional water resources, it’s imperative to explore sustainable alternatives for water supply. Atmospheric water ...

Over 18% of the global adult population is projected to be obese by 2025, showcasing widespread difficulties in adopting healthy diets. Why? Using a gradient approach, we examined how brain states ...
