Directional long-distance electron transfer from reduced to oxidized zones in the subsurface
This study reveals a directional long-distance electron transfer chain from reduced to oxidized zones occurs in the subsurface, which implicates an overlooked contribution of “remote” electron sources/sinks for local biogeochemical processes.
Outdoor air pollution changes maturation patterns of the brain's white matter in sex-specific ways
Outdoor air pollution, a ubiquitous neurotoxicant, is shown to change white matter maturation patterns in differential ways depending on sex in a large sample of US-based youths, in the first longitudinal study of its kind.
