How climate change and deforestation interact in the transformation of the Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is central to the Earth’s climate system. It recycles water, regulates temperature, and acts as a massive carbon sink. But how much of the ongoing transformation of the Amazon can be attributed to global climate change, or to deforestation? This study provides the answer
Hidden fat in children’s muscles: what it reveals about their cardiometabolic health
Obesity is often defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation, usually measured by the BMI. However, BMI does not tell us the whole story. Not all fat in the body behaves in the same way, and where fat is stored might make a big difference for our health.
Observation of nonlinear edge states in an interacting atomic trimer array
We study the interplay between topology and nonlinearity by measuring the effect of varying interactions on the density population and participation ratio in the quench dynamics of topological atomic trimer arrays.
