Hidden Voids, Fast Track: How sulfides Vacancies Accelerate Critical Metal Mobility and Ore Formation
Our study reveals that Vacancies in sulfides facilitate fluid-induced solid-state diffusion at rates nearly two orders of magnitude faster than traditional lattice diffusion, promoting critical metals accumulation during ore formation.
Advancing Efficient Decarbonization: Trade-offs and synergies among carbon mitigation policies
Our study in Nature Climate Change has considered the mitigation policy interactions using the CEEGE model. With multiple policy combination options, we find that in most cases these interactions will delay the achievement of carbon neutrality in China.
e-ITALICA: a new catalogue for landslide forecasting in Italy
Landslides pose a significant risk to Italy. Accurate prediction of these phenomena is crucial for effective risk mitigation. e-ITALICA (the enhanced-ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes Catalogue) promises to significantly improve our ability to predict and manage landslide risk.
