A sustainable and just future, envisioned by the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, puts agricultural systems under a heavy strain. The century-old quandary to [...]

Presently, many island communities are largely dependent on fossil fuel resources for energy, leaving the abundance of renewable energy resources largely untapped. Althou [...]

Industrialized society will transition away from dependence on non-renewable resources (fossil fuels, in particular) sometime in the foreseeable future. How disruptive th [...]

Background: Nearly one-quarter of all avian species is either threatened or nearly threatened. Of these, 73 species are currently being rescued from going extinct in w [...]

When soft matter is driven out of equilibrium its constituents interact via effective interactions that escape Newton’s action–reaction principle. Prominent examples incl [...]

Dopamine modulates corticostriatal plasticity in both the direct and indirect pathways of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loops. These gradual changes in cort [...]

This perspective essay will briefly recount fundamental physicochemical properties of the peptide-resin that have led to the almost universal use of stepwise solid phase [...]

For all of its protean and ephemeral qualities, air exerts a remarkably muscular influence on urban form and contemporary life in China. In recent years, as the breakneck [...]

In the Greater Chaco region of northwest New Mexico, new fracking technologies are stirring up lands, chemicals, and relations that concentrate attention in the surround. [...]

The rapid accumulation of digital data, coupled with advances in computational capacity, has ushered in a new era of data exploration and analysis. This shift presents si [...]

High-altitude cirrus clouds are climatically important: their formation freeze-dries air ascending to the stratosphere to its final value, and their radiative impact is d [...]

Low-cost sensors (LCS) provide opportunities for neighborhood-level air pollution data collection, yet significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the accurate applicatio [...]

Deciding between a pair of familiar items is thought to rely on a comparison of their subjective values. When the values are similar, decisions take longer, and the choic [...]

The ecosocial work approach incorporates the environment into social justice frameworks. It calls for holistic practices that centre Indigenous and Global South voices, t [...]

Natural disasters represent a latent threat for every country in the world. Due to climate change and other factors, statistics show that they continue to be on the rise. [...]

Sustainable urban systems (SUS) science is a new science integrating work across established and emerging disciplines, using diverse methods, and addressing issues at loc [...]

Planetary obliquity is a first-order control on planetary climate and seasonal contrast, which has a number of cascading consequences for life. How moderately high obliqu [...]

Defining intelligence is a challenging and fraught task, but one that neuroscientists are repeatedly confronted with. A central goal of neuroscience is to understand how [...]

Recent theory suggests that tropical terrestrial arthropods are at significant risk from climate warming. Metabolic rate in such ectothermic species increases exponential [...]

Global warming may have a significant impact on human health because of the growth of the population of harmful bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori infection. It is c [...]

We show that several models of interacting 𝑋⁢𝑋⁢𝑍 spin chains subject to boundary driving and dissipation possess a subtle kind of time-reversal symmetry, making their ste [...]

Acoustic levitation in air provides a containerless, gravity-free platform for investigating driven many-particle systems with nonconservative interactions and underdampe [...]

Spins and oscillators are foundational to much of physics and applied sciences. For quantum information, a spin 1/2 exemplifies the most basic unit, a qubit. High angular [...]

Humans and other animals are adept at learning to perform cognitively demanding behavioral tasks. Neurophysiological recordings in nonhuman primates during such tasks fin [...]
