Shock-proofing conservation: are community forests in Madagascar resilient to a political crisis and its aftermath?
We explored the impacts of the 2009-2014 Madagascar political crisis and its aftermath on the performance of community managed forests and protected areas. In under-resourced nations like Madagascar, community forests need external support to avoid forest clearing and associated biodiversity loss.
Bats unmasked: Delving into diversity and disease dynamics
Our understanding of disease dynamics can be limited by the taxonomic lens with which we study pathogen reservoirs. Here is what we learned by decrypting species identity in cave-roosting bats from Ghana.
Deuteration-enhanced neutron contrasts to probe amorphous domain sizes in organic photovoltaic bulk heterojunction films
This study unveils the amorphous nanomorphology of organic photovoltaics, employing neutron scattering and deuteration to enhance organic donor and acceptor contrast. It uncovers Y6's short-range aggregation within amorphous intermixed regions, pivotal for charge extraction and recombination.
An electroabsorption perspective on charge-transfer excitations in non-fullerene acceptors
Using electroabsorption spectroscopy to investigate intra- and intermolecular charge transfer excitations in Y6 and ITIC non-fullerene acceptors.
Solar-driven sugar production directly from CO2
We designed a hybrid electrocatalytic-biocatalytic flow system for achieving artificial synthesis of sugar directly from CO2.
Embracing Transboundary Interactions for Global SDGs Under the Metacoupling Framework
Countries should adopt a metacoupling-based governance approach that considers human-nature interactions within a country as well as across neighboring and non-neighboring countries.
Behind FISHnCHIPs
FISHnCHIPs simultaneously targets co-expressed gene groups, boosting signals 2-20 fold over single-gene methods. This enhanced sensitivity allows rapid, sensitive, and robust whole-tissue profiling under low magnification, and applicable for analyses of clinical tissue samples with low RNA quality.
