Photoactive Lignin-Derived Nanolayers for Camouflaged Bioaromatic Interfaces

Abstract Bioaromatic polymers derived from lignin have largely been confined to bulk materials or dispersed (nano)particles, limiting their ability to control interfacial phenomena at the nanoscale. Here, we establish lignin as a platform for programmable photoactive bioaromatic...

Accelerating biomass loss from forest disturbances across Europe

Abstract Forest disturbances are rising globally due to climate change and land-use pressures, weakening the terrestrial carbon sink. However, declines in aboveground biomass from tree cover loss remain poorly quantified, limiting our understanding of the role of disturbances in...

Learning a unified graph transformer with mamba-based dynamic state evolution for 3D multi-object tracking

Abstract 3D multi-object tracking is crucial for autonomous driving, providing environmental sensing. To enhance multi-type tracking cues, we introduce DUG-Track (Dynamic Unified Graph Tracker), a novel tracker that pioneers a deeply integrated framework of dynamic state evolutio...
