Mechanistic insights into fluoride removal by P-loaded calcite

Phosphate (P) and fluoride commonly coexist in aquatic systems. Although P loading restructures calcite through Ca P phase formation, its influence on subsequent fluoride removal remains unclear. Calcite conditioned with high P concentrations at pH 8.3, 7.7, and 7.3 developed P-r...

How Gamification Impacts Impulse Buying via Fear of Missing out in Livestream E-Commerce: Examining a Moderated Mediation Model

The proliferation of livestream e-commerce has positioned gamification as a powerful factor of impulse buying. Extant studies have paid much attention to the positive affective reactions that are associated with gamification, yet whether and how gamification can impact impulse bu...

Cross‐Basin Synergistic Effects Stall Summer Sea Ice Decline in the Chukchi Sea

Abstract Although global mean surface temperatures have risen rapidly, summer sea ice loss in the Chukchi Sea has exhibited an anomalous deceleration since the early 2000s. Using observations and numerical experiments, we show that this trend deceleration is closely linked to the...

Integrated Organic–Inorganic Fertilizer Management: Enhancing Crop Productivity, Soil Health, and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

Integrated nutrient management (INM) is increasingly recognized as a promising approach for sustaining crop productivity while reducing some of the environmental impacts associated with intensive agricultural production. This study presents a structured narrative review with crit...

Thermo‐Optically Engineered Radiative Cooling Materials With Tailored Thermal Conduction

ABSTRACT Radiative cooling, featuring zero‐energy operation and compatibility with global decarbonization, is a promising route for passive thermal management. Despite major progress over the past few years, advances in radiative cooling have mainly focused on spectral modulation...

Surface Functional Group Engineering of MXenes: Mechanisms, Tailoring Strategies, and Performance‐Oriented Applications

MXenes, as an emerging 2D material, hold considerable energy storage potential. However, the intrinsic stochastic distribution and thermodynamic metastability of their surface functional groups impair key electrochemical properties, compromising their cyclability and rate capabil...

The Characteristics of Flood‐Drought Abrupt Alternation in North China During Midsummer and Its Response to Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature

ABSTRACT Based on the ERA5 reanalysis data, precipitation data provided by the China Meteorological Administration, and the Met Office Hadley Center Sea Ice and SST dataset, this study investigates the characteristics of midsummer flood‐drought abrupt alternation (FDAA) in North...

A Bidirectional Controllable Terahertz Multifunctional Device Based on Graphene-Vanadium Dioxide

A bidirectional controllable terahertz multifunctional device based on graphene and vanadium dioxide is proposed in this paper. By adjusting the phase transition characteristics of vanadium dioxide and the chemical potential of graphene, the bidirectional transmission of electrom...

EGP-Defense: Enhancing Adversarial Robustness of LVLMs via Training-Free Edge-Guided Prompting

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable multimodal comprehension capabilities, achieving state-of-the-art performance across various vision-language tasks. However, their performance drops significantly when facing adversarial attacks on the visual encod...

Seasonal wet–dry transitions reveal contrasting microbial stability and nutrient cycling across floodplain lake habitats

Abstract Saucer-shaped sub-lakes in floodplains undergo strong seasonal changes in water level and connectivity, but their microbial responses and roles in nutrient cycling remain poorly understood. Here we show, using 28 lake units across Lake Poyang, China, that seasonal hydrol...

Asymmetric Response of Land Precipitation Variability Under Carbon Dioxide Removal

Abstract Precipitation variability describes fluctuations between wet and dry conditions and plays an important role in shaping hydrological extremes and their societal impacts. Using idealized carbon dioxide removal experiments from CMIP6 models, we assess how precipitation vari...

Analysis of urban-scale typhoon precipitation characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns: a case study of Ningbo, China

Abstract. Conventional urban-scale precipitation characterization often overlooks the uniqueness of typhoon rainfall specifically in intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) relationships and rainfall patterns. This study used meteorological station observations and assimilated gridded...

A cellular automaton model of tropical oceanic rain clusters with criticality

Abstract. The distributions of the cluster area, A, and total rain rate, R, for tropical oceanic rain clusters from a cellular automaton (CA) are analysed for their scaling exponent ζA, ζR, and β where f(s)~s-ζS; S∈{A,R}; f(s) the probability distribution of S. The CA only includ...

Lakeshore transformation and water color dynamics: A satellite-based 23-year assessment of nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, China

Study region Nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, China. Study focus We developed an extended lakeshore utilization classification framework to categorize lakeshores as natural, agricultural, or artificial using fixed maximum shorelines. We then derived the Forel–Ule Index (FUI) of the...

Spatiotemporal Variations in Aerosol Optical Depth and Their Relationships with Cloud Properties and Precipitation over Sudan: Insights from Satellite Observations and CMIP6 Model Projections

This study investigates how dust and sulfate aerosols modulate cloud properties and rainfall over Sudan, a key part of the Sahara–Sahel dust belt. Satellite and reanalysis products (MODIS, CHIRPS, MERRA 2, EAC4) are combined with four CMIP6 models to analyze rainy season (JJAS) a...

Systematic Underestimation of Nonlinear and Synergistic Soil Moisture‐Precipitation Coupling in Convection‐Permitting Models

Abstract Soil moisture‐precipitation coupling critically shapes Earth's water and energy cycles, yet it remains difficult to quantify because land‐atmosphere interactions are nonlinear, multivariate, and state‐dependent. This study applies the High‐Dimensional Model Representatio...
