Carbon dioxide removal technologies are gaining prominence in academia, industry and policy, yet the need for substantial funding raises serious challenges. This comment discusses these issues and offers suggestions for future funding efforts in this area.
Climate change is an expensive collective problem that will be felt unequally around the world and within communities. Sustainable and equitable financing is needed to address disparities and reduce the economic costs of loss and damage from climate change.
2D metallenes have spurred considerable interests in heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Here the authors report an efficient galvanic replacement strategy to construct Pd metallenes mediated by Nb2C MXenes for boosting alkynes semihydrogenation.
The tension between measured W mass and its Standard Model prediction might arise from uncertainties in the hadronic contribution, and the same is true for the muon g − 2. Here, the authors show that such a common origin for the two anomalies is unlikely, while a model involving leptoquarks might explain them both.
The shape and size of the mature central nervous system is highly regular, implying precise architectural rules. The authors show that alterations in JNK signaling in selected neurons impact the overall 3-dimensional organization of the Drosophila ventral nerve cord in a cell non-autonomous fashion.
Springtails are omnipresent soil arthropods, vital for ecosystems. In the first global assessment of springtails, this study shows a 20-fold biomass difference between the tundra and the tropics, with distinct temperature-related patterns for diversity and metabolism that suggest climate change may restructure the functioning of soil biodiversity.
The development of Li2S-P2S5 glass ceramics is greatly hampered by the low room temperature lithium conductivity. Here, the authors propose a nanocrystallization strategy to fabricate super lithium conductive glass ceramics.
Polydopamine is a biomimetic self-adherent polymer, which can be easily deposited on a wide variety of materials but the polymerization mechanism and the key intermediate species formed during the deposition process are still controversial. Here, the authors report a systematic investigation of polydopamine formation on halloysite nanotubes.
The genetic basis of systemic lupus erythematosus is not completely understood. Here, the authors perform multi-ancestry and multi-trait meta-analyses to identify 16 novel genetic loci and demonstrate the utility of polygenic risk score in clinical risk prediction when used with conventional lab tests.
The immune suppressive tumour microenvironment drives recurrence and metastatic disease in prostate cancer. Here authors provide a detailed analysis of the microenvironment via single cell RNA sequencing and high-resolution spatial transcriptomics to identify tumour-dependent changes compared to healthy tissue.
In the kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 the symmetry of the superconducting gap is still in question, both at ambient pressure and under high pressure. Here, via controlled introduction of impurities, the authors report evidence for a non-chiral full superconducting gap with no sign change.
Stimulator of interferon gene (STING) plays critical roles in the host response to infection and in the production of interferon. Here the authors suggests myristic acid is involved in the homeostatic balancing of STING dependent autophagy and the interferon response.
Dietary glycans are a major driver of the human gut microbiota composition. Here, the authors apply next-generation metabolic labeling coupled with fluorescence-activated cell sorting to identify and isolate gut bacteria consumers of dietary glycans in human stool samples, linking bacteria to the glycans they consume.
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a major hazard to downstream populations. Here, the authors show that 15 million people globally are potentially exposed to GLOF impacts, with more than half of these living in India, Pakistan, Peru and China.
Bacteria can exchange DNA through extracellular appendages (‘mating pili’) in a process known as conjugation. Here, Beltran et al. determine atomic structures by cryo-electron microscopy of a bacterial conjugative pilus and two archaeal pili, showing that the archaeal pili are homologous to bacterial mating pili.
The photoluminescence of gold nanoclusters is affected by low-frequency acoustic vibrations. Here, the authors demonstrate that layer-by-layer ligand engineering can suppress such structural vibrations to achieve brighter emissions.
