Global forest governance in a fragmenting post-world war II order – What should remain?
After the events of the second World War, nations leaned toward multilateralism, and the post-World War II multilateral order provided a space where forests could be discussed through cooperation, aid, rights, development, and shared responsibility. Our policy forum argues that a...

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE: THE HIDDEN THREAT TO GLOBAL HEALTH
1. A Scratch That Would Not Heal It begins innocently enough. A gardening cut. A scraped knee. A routine surgery that goes exactly as planned. For most of human history, an infected wound was a lottery of life and death — until a moldy dish in a London laboratory changed everythi...

High-resolution operando CO2 analysis of oxygen-dependent carbon corrosion in PEMFC cathodes
Carbon corrosion is a critical degradation mechanism in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and proceeds not only during startup/shutdown but also under normal operation. However, its underlying mechanisms, particularly the influence of oxygen, remain insufficiently unde...

Refining green space renewal for PM10 mitigation across heterogeneous built environments
Urban green space renewal is essential for improving air quality in rapidly urbanizing areas. Understanding the interactive effects of building-green space on PM 10 is key to developing effective mitigation strategies. This study compared the seasonal distribution patterns of PM...

Quantifying hybrid electrochemical–biological CO₂ conversion systems
Hybrid electro-biomanufacturing provides an attractive route for converting CO₂ into fuels and chemicals beyond the constraints of natural photosynthesis. However, achieving systems-level high productivity and efficiency while maintaining robust electro-biological (electrobio) op...

Sorption, desorption, and leaching of S-metolachlor in two soils amended with maize stover
S-metolachlor is widely used across various crops for its effectiveness as a grass herbicide and is considered pivotal, particularly amidst multiple cases of resistance in weed biotypes of the Poaceae family. In no-till systems, the presence of surface residues can modify herbici...

Mechanism and parameter optimization method for ordered vibration conveying of maize ears
Ordered conveying of maize ears is critical for non-destructive handling of seed samples in plant breeding. However, the traditional response surface methodology (RSM) struggles to fit the strongly nonlinear characteristics of this process, and the underlying mechanism of ordered...
