Investigation of glacier mass balance based on multi-source observation in the Karakoram over the past 25 years

The “Karakoram Anomaly” — the atypical stability of glaciers in a warming climate—has introduced considerable uncertainty into projections of regional water resources. However, the resilience of this anomaly under sustained climate forcing remains poorly quantified. In this study...

MemBrain v2: an end-to-end tool for the analysis of membranes in cryo-electron tomography

Abstract Cryo-electron tomography provides unique insights into macromolecular complexes in their native environments, yet membrane analysis remains a major bottleneck due to low signal-to-noise ratios, missing wedge artifacts and the complexity of membrane-associated particles....

Epitactic Growthduring the Fluid-Driven Aragonite-to-CalciteTransformation

Abstract Aragonite and calcite (CaCO3) are the most abundant polymorphs of calcium carbonate in the Earth’s crust and are relevant industrial minerals. The factors that control the solid-state transformation of aragonite, the high-pressure polymorph, into calcite, the stable poly...
