An open access, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, health, physical, chemical and Earth sciences.
Quantifying the shift of public export finance from fossil fuels to renewable energy
Export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and enable energy projects worldwide. Here, we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries to identify the direction and patterns of ECA energy financing, including fossil fuels, renewables, and grid infrastructure since 2013.
Protecting patient privacy in metagenomic sequencing studies
Incomplete human reference genomes can drive false sex biases and expose patient-identifying information in metagenomic data, but there are ways to mitigate this.
High-valence bismuth(V) nanoplatform to potentiating tumor immunotherapy
A high-valence bismuth(V) nanoplatform has been proposed for the first time for triggering cancer cell death and anti-tumor immune responses via an exogenous excitation-free and endogenous H2O2- and O2-independent reactive oxygen species generation behavior.
Extreme heatwaves could intensify much more than expected with climate change
It is known that heatwaves become more severe as the climate warms. But a new study led by the University of Graz now shows that the most extreme heat events may intensify much stronger than previously expected.
Visualizing stepwise evolution of carbon hybridization from sp3 to sp2 and to sp
In our recent published paper in Nature Communications, we present the visualization of stepwise evolution in carbon hybridizations from sp3 to sp2 and to sp states via dehydrogenation and elimination reactions of methylcyano-functionalized molecules on surfaces.
From pore to process: an industrially promising application for MOFs in separating the most potent greenhouse gas
SF6/N2 separation is crucial for sustainable development. Here, we prepared low-cost and robust MOF composite pellets and established a vacuum temperature swing adsorption process with both high recovery and high purity of SF6.
