Unveiling the cooling effects of urban green spaces in Eastern China: spatial heterogeneity, diurnal asymmetry, and nonlinear margins of 2D/3D features

Urban green spaces (UGS) play an important role in mitigating urban heat island effects. However, the mechanisms underlying their cooling effects are still not fully understood, particularly regarding the role of three-dimensional vegetation structure and nonlinear threshold resp...

Post-treatment of biogenic sulfur coating enhances autotrophic denitrification

<title>Abstract</title> Biogenic sulfur (bio-S⁰) is a promising electron donor for treating carbon-limited wastewater, yet the inherent variability of its organic coating poses an unresolved challenge for consistent denitrification performance. Here, we report that post‑treatment...

LXRα and PPARα Mediated Hepatic Lipid Metabolic Disruption Induced by the UV Filter EHMC in 2D and 3D HepaRG Cell Models

ABSTRACT Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC), an important UVB filter, is raising concerns about its potential metabolic toxicity due to widespread human exposure through dietary sources. However, little is known about the effects of EHMC on hepatic lipid metabolism and the underl...

Spontaneous ChlorineGeneration via Interfacial Oxidationof Chloride by O2 on Acidic Microdroplets

Abstract Reactive chlorine species significantly influence atmospheric chemistry, yet their sources remain inadequately defined. We have discovered a spontaneous formation pathway for substantial molecular chlorine (Cl2) from the oxidation of chloride (Cl–) through interfacial ox...

Manganese Ion‐Based NanoPlatforms for Tumor Theranostics

ABSTRACT Manganese‐ion‐based nanoparticles have emerged as highly versatile platforms that seamlessly integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions, enabling precision cancer theranostics. In this review, we discuss manganese‐based nanomaterials through a design‐oriented framewo...

Coupling Landscape Patterns and Ecosystem Services With Sustainable Development Goals for Regional Sustainability: Evidence From the Yellow River Basin

ABSTRACT Human activities are accelerating ecosystem degradation, making regional sustainability transitions increasingly urgent. Although the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a unified global framework for action, their implementation at the regional s...

Enhanced Recoveryof Strategic Metal Antimony fromWastewater via a Synergistic UV/Iodide/Sulfite Process

Abstract Antimony-bearing wastewater poses substantial environmental risks, while conventional treatment technologies mainly transfer dissolved antimony into secondary hazardous wastes. Here, we developed a synergistic UV/iodide/sulfite process for the rapid reductive recovery of...
