Abstract Strong El Niño events are followed by massive summer monsoon flooding over the Yangtze River basin (YRB), home to about a third of the population in China. Although the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) provides the main source of seasonal climate predictability for many parts of the Eart...

Light-emitting diodes [LEDs] are of particular interest recently as their performance is approaching fluorescent/incandescent tubes. Moreover, their energy-saving property is attracting many researchers because of the huge energy crisis we are facing. Among all methods intending to enhance the effic...

Green indium phosphide (InP)-based quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) still suffer from low efficiency and short operational lifetime, posing a critical challenge to fully cadmium-free QD-LED displays and lighting 1-3 . Unfortunately, the factors that underlie these limitations remain uncle...

This paper uses weekly data from July 01, 2011 to July 09, 2021 to examine the dynamic nonlinear connectedness between the green bonds, clean energy, and stock price around the COVID-19 outbreak in the global markets. By building a time-varying parameter vector autoregression model (TVP-VAR), the co...

East Asia experienced a record-breaking cold event during the 2015/16 boreal winter, with pronounced impacts on livelihood in the region. We find that this large-scale cold spell can be attributed to the concurrent super El Niño event in the tropical Pacific. Our analysis reveals that all super El N...

3D boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-Fe(iii) coordination polymer nanoparticles can extend absorption to 1300 nm for enhanced ligand-to-metal transfer. The nanoparticles show good cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) generation ability, high photothermal conversion, and outstanding NIR-II photoacoustic imag...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is able to hide within host cells to escape immune clearance and antibiotic action, causing life-threatening infections. To boost the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, new intracellular delivery approaches are urgently needed. Herein, by rational design of an ada...

Abstract Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. The poor drug delivery to cerebral ischemic regions remains a challenging issue for ischemic stroke treatment. Curcumin (Cur) and edaravone (EDV) show remarkable therapeutic effects on ischemic stroke. However, the short ha...

BACKGROUND: Chronic renal disease (CKD) is a common and irreversible loss of renal function. Renal fibrosis reflected the degree of renal dysfunction. However, the current biomarkers only characterize the renal function instead of indicating the fibrosis degree. The potential diagnostic value of uri...

Abstract The modulation of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on winter aerosol pollution (WAP) in the eastern region of China (ERC) was investigated from a climatological perspective. The results show that the weakened East Asian winter monsoon during El Niño events has an important influence ...

Dear Editor, Breath analysis is a promising diagnostic approach for various conditions [1, 2]. It is based on the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted in the breath, which creates a unique volatolomic signature [3]. Owing to their characteristics, VOCs can be measured non-intr...

Abstract The interactions between El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are known to have great implications for global climate variability and seasonal climate predictions. Observational analysis suggests that the ENSO–IOD inter‐basin connection is time‐varying and relat...

Azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction is a very common organic reaction to synthesize nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Once catalyzed by Cu(I) or Ru(II), it turns out to be a click reaction and thus is widely applied in chemical biology for labeling. However, besides their poor regioselectivity towar...

The carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is commonly used as a representative biomarker for pancreatic cancer (PC); however, it lacks sensitivity and specificity for early-stage PC diagnosis. Furthermore, some patients with PC are negative for CA19-9 (<37 U/mL), which introduces additional limitations...
