Photoelectrochemical production of ammonia usually suffers from a low solar-to-ammonia efficiency and a high overpotential, which influences the bias-free operation of sustainable photoelectrochemistry. Herein, we realize solar-driven ammonia production from waste nitrate by constructing copper-osmium catalysts deposited on the Sb2(S,Se)3 semiconductor, e ...

Gene duplication is common across the Tree of Life and contributes to genomic robustness. In this study, we examined changes in the subcellular localization and abundance of proteins in response to the deletion of their paralogs originating from the whole-genome duplication event, which is a larg ...

The intertidal zone, serving as a dynamic interface, presents a challenging environment for understanding the transport of spilled oil. This study explores the resuspension of stranded oil and the formation of suspended oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) under varying sediment properties, water chemistry, hydrodynamic forces, and biodegradation conditions. Fi ...

Purposes: While lumbar multifidus (MF) muscle alterations are linked to low back pain (LBP), the structure-function relationship is not fully understood. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between fatty degeneration of the lumbar MF muscle and its function in individuals with and without LBP. Methods: The study included 25 participants with chr ...
