Ancient terrestrial forests reborn as modern marine ecosystems under shifting sea levels
Abstract Sea-level rise and coastal erosion can submerge terrestrial carbon-rich landscapes, yet the ecological fate and climate significance of such relict coastal carbon deposits remain largely unknown. We report the discovery of submerged tropical peat reefs in the shallow coa...

Corrosion Resistance of Boronized Carbon Steel in a Galinstan–Refrigerant Two-Phase Agitated System
Abstract This study experimentally evaluates, for the first time, the corrosion resistance of boronized carbon steel in environments containing liquid Galinstan (GaInSn) and selected organic refrigerants (n-pentane and R1233zd(E)) at 150 °C for up to 80 days. The tests simulated...
