For centuries, lilies have captivated gardeners with their striking blooms — yet most cultivated varieties struggle when temperatures drop. Now, researchers have uncovered how a wild lily species survives extreme cold by rewiring its own pigment production.
Sepsis can weaken the heart at the very moment the body most needs strong circulation, yet the biological chain driving this damage remains difficult to interrupt.
This review systematically bridges non-resonant and resonant metasurfaces, highlighting their complementary roles in shaping next-generation photonic devices. It covers physical mechanisms, key structures, and transformative applications in imaging, color routing, and displays. The fusion of both paradigms promises multifunctional, chip‑integrated meta‑devices.
Larger bubbles could make water electrolysis more efficient
Atmospheric water vapor is vital to weather and climate research, yet estimating it from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals depends on an intermediate temperature value that global models may not represent accurately at regional scales. In Geodesy and Geodynamics, researchers introduce three models calibrated for Iran using radiosonde observations and radio occultation profiles from multiple satellite missions. Models using measured surface temperature performed best with radiosonde data, while a surface-temperature-independent model proved more reliable for satellite profiles and cut errors in GNSS-derived precipitable water vapor by about half at test stations in Tehran and Tabriz.
This review synthesizes collective insights from the 1st China–Australia–New Zealand Water Quality Modeling Symposium (CANWaS 2024) and outlines a roadmap for strengthening international collaboration in surface water quality modeling. Organized by Jiping Jiang from Harbin Institute of Technology and Danlu Guo from Australian National University, an international research team identifies shared priorities, mutual interests, and actionable pathways—including best-practice guidelines, open knowledge sharing, and joint technological innovation—to advance predictive capacity and policy impact for global freshwater management.
