Abstract Economic globalization and concomitant growth in international trade since the late 1990s have profoundly reorganized global production activities and related CO 2 emissions. Here we show trade among developing nations (i.e., South–South trade) has more than doubled between 2004 and 2011, w...

BACKGROUND: The spider Trichonephila antipodiana (Araneidae), commonly known as the batik golden web spider, preys on arthropods with body sizes ranging from ∼2 mm in length to insects larger than itself (>20‒50 mm), indicating its polyphagy and strong dietary detoxification abilities. Although it h...

The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173 429 respondents in 48 countries. The open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers to investigate how psychological responses differ across countries and cu...

The aerosol microphysical, optical and radiative properties of the whole column and upper planetary boundary layer (PBL) were investigated during 2013 to 2018 based on long-term sun-photometer observations at a surface site (~106 m a.s.l.) and a mountainous site (~1225 m a.s.l.) in Beijing. Raman-Mi...

Liposomes as drug vehicles have advantages, such as payload protection, tunable carrying capacity and improved biodistribution. However, due to the dysfunction of targeting moieties and payload loss during preparation, immunoliposomes have yet to be favoured in commercial manufacturing. Here we repo...

The activity and spread of exotic earthworms often are spatially correlated with N deposition because both arise from human activities. Exotic earthworms, in turn, can also greatly affect soil abiotic and biotic properties, as well as related ecological processes. Previous studies showed, for exampl...

Abstract The aging behaviour and mechanism of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt has been investigated based on laboratory tests in this study. Rolling thin-film oven (RTFO) test and pressure-aging-vessel (PAV) test were conducted to prepare aged SBS-modified asphalt. Conventional prop...

Abstract Enormous enhancement of superconducting pairing temperature ( T g ) to 65 K in FeSe/SrTiO 3 has made it a spotlight. Despite the effort of interfacial engineering, FeSe interfaced with TiO x remains the unique case in hosting high T g , hindering a decisive understanding on the general mech...

Abstract Optical wireless communication (OWC) stands out as one of the most promising technologies in the sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks. The establishment of high-quality optical links between transmitters and receivers plays a crucial role in OWC performances. Here, by a compact beam splitt...

mice exacerbated atherosclerosis. Whole-genome expression profiling discovered that CX3CL1 chemokine was the most upregulated gene in the insulin-stimulated arterial endothelial cells. Specific deletion of a CX3CL1 receptor, Cx3cr1 gene, in monocytes/macrophages completely abrogated the APM-exacerba...

Abstract Like other aqueous batteries, aqueous rechargeable Al‐ion batteries (ARAIBs) have attracted much attention due to their high safety and low cost. However, the low energy density of ARAIBs limits its popularization and application. In order to solve this problem, in addition to choosing Al m...
