Interpretable machine learning reveals contrasting drivers of streamflow droughts in regulated and natural river systems

This study investigates the spatial, temporal, and process-based dynamics of streamflow droughts across the Godavari River basin using daily discharge records from multiple gauging stations. A multivariate framework integrating drought duration, intensity, and deficit was employe...

A Small Molecule Substrate Mimic to Inhibit Bacterial Hsp70 Chaperone Function

Given the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance worldwide, it is imperative to develop new strategies against pathogenic bacteria. Here, we report a small‐molecule inhibitor of bacterial heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), called DnaK, a central component of the bacterial protein chap...

Zooming in on ‘bi-large’ neutrino mixing with the first JUNO results

Abstract The leptonic mixing matrix is examined within bi-large mixing patterns and confronted with the latest results announced by the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). We analyze the viability of bi-large mixing schemes and assess JUNO’s ability to test neutrino...

Social (in)security and social policy for gig workers in South Asia

Over the last decade, digital worker platforms and the digital economy have become integral parts of labour worldwide, including in South Asian countries. Gig workers often experience job insecurity, low wages, long working hours, and harsh working conditions, which make their li...

Moiré‐Induced Symmetry Breaking of Charge Order in van der Waals Heterostructures

ABSTRACT Layered materials that stack different lattice symmetries are rare in nature. Misfit layered chalcogenides, which combine square and hexagonal lattices of rocksalt monochalcogenides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides, provide a platform to explore how incommensurabilit...
