Black metal hydrogen above 360 GPa driven by proton quantum fluctuations
(Nature Physics, 2020-09-07)
Hydrogen metallization under stable conditions is a major quest for realizing the first room temperature su-
perconductor. Recent low-temperature experiments report different metallization pressures, varying from 360GPa ...
Dynamical versions of Hardy's uncertainty principle: A survey
(American Mathematical Society, 2021-06-03)
The Hardy uncertainty principle says that no function is better localized together with its Fourier transform than the Gaussian. The textbook proof of the result, as well as one of the original proofs by Hardy, refers to ...
Quantum crystal structure in the 250-kelvin superconducting lanthanum hydride
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-05)
The discovery of superconductivity at 200 kelvin in the hydrogen sulfide system at high pressures demonstrated the potential of hydrogen-rich materials as high-temperature superconductors. Recent theoretical predictions ...
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)
The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ...
Off-stage ecosystem service burdens: A blind spot for global sustainability
(IOP Publishing, 2017-07)
The connected nature of social-ecological systems has never been more apparent than in today's globalized world. The ecosystem service framework and associated ecosystem assessments aim to better inform the science-policy ...
Coastal gradients of small microplastics and associated pollutants influenced by estuarine sources
(Elsevier, 2022)
Small microplastics (SMPs) in the gulf of Cadiz was sampled at 5 m depth by pumping it through the ship's pipe system and filtered through a 45 mu m mesh size net. Our study reveals that higher densities have been found ...
Side-Effects of Domestication: Cultivated Legume Seeds Contain Similar Tocopherols and Fatty Acids but Less Carotenoids than Their Wild Counterparts
(Biomed Central, 2014-12-20)
BACKGROUND: Lipophilic antioxidants play dual key roles in edible seeds (i) as preservatives of cell integrity and seed viability by preventing the oxidation of fats, and (ii) as essential nutrients for human and animal ...
Role of Furin in Colon Cancer Stem Cells Malignant Phenotype and Expression of LGR5 and NANOG in KRAS and BRAF-Mutated Colon Tumors
(MDPI, 2022-02-25)
Proprotein convertases or PCs are known to regulate the malignant phenotype of colon cancer cells by different mechanisms, but their effects on cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been less widely investigated. Here, we report ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Pollen Geochronology from the Atlantic Coast of the United States during the Last 500 Years
(MDPI, 2021-01-31)
Building robust age–depth models to understand climatic and geologic histories from coastal sedimentary archives often requires composite chronologies consisting of multi-proxy age markers. Pollen chronohorizons derived ...
