Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe

Research reveals synergistic mechanism of charge transfer absorption and triplet generation in organic donor-acceptor molecules

分子三线态具有较长的激发态寿命，在光催化、光动力治疗、光子上转换及室温磷光等领域具有重要应用。传统三线态光敏剂通常依赖重原子增强自旋—轨道耦合，而纯有机分子因自旋—轨道耦合较弱，实现高效三线态生成仍面临挑战。近年来，自旋—轨道电荷转移系间窜越（SOCT-ISC）为解决这一问题提供了新的途径。在非共平面的有机给体—受体分子中，光诱导电荷分离后，可通过伴随轨道角动量变化的电荷复合过程形成三线态，从而实现无需重原子的高效三线态生成。传统观点认为，接近正交的构型有利于三线态生成，但同时会削弱给体和受体之间的电子耦合，不利于形成较强的电荷转移（CT）吸收。相反，较小的二面角虽能增强CT吸收，却可能加速电荷复合回到基态。因此，如何在同一分子中兼顾长波长CT吸收和高效三线态生成，是该领域面临的重要问题。

Stronger home foundations needed to withstand climate change and cracking soils

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

One of the oldest known 3D animal fossils found in Norwegian sheep field

The fossil dates from around 560 million years ago, during the Ediacaran Period, when complex forms of life first appeared on Earth. The fossil, known as Charnia , looks more like a fern than anything we would recognise as an animal today.

Study discovers new mechanism for plants to establish pistil tissue boundaries

The pistil is the female reproductive organ of flowering plants. The stigma at the top is responsible for capturing and identifying pollen, and the style below provides a growth channel for the pollen tube. The presence of a clear, stable boundary between the stigma and style is essential to ensure sexual reproduction in the plant.
