Ecosystem productivity has a stronger influence than soil age on surface soil carbon storage across global biomes by Plaza, César, García-Palacios, Pablo, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Barquero, Jesús, Bastida, Felipe, Png, Kenny Guochen, Rey, Ana, Bardgett, Richard D., Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel

“…Yet, variations in the proportions of free light (unprotected) and mineral-associated (protected) carbon as soil develops in contrasting ecosystems are poorly constrained. Here, we studied 16 long-term chronosequences from six continents and found that the ecosystem type is more important than soil age (centuries to millennia) in explaining the proportion of unprotected and mineral-associated carbon fractions in surface soils across global biomes. …”

Exploring Optoelectronic Properties of Twisted and Intercalated Niobium Oxide Dihalides by Luo, Ashley

“…As a result of modifications in physical and chemical design involving 2D materials such as stacking, twisting and ion intercalation, properties such as electrical conductivity, spin diffusion length, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength observe more degrees of freedom than in their bulk material counterpart. …”

Analysis of Λ b 0 → pK−μ+μ− decays by Aaij, R., Abdelmotteleb, A. S. W., Abellan Beteta, C., Abudinén, F., Ackernley, T., Adefisoye, A. A., Adeva, B., Adinolfi, M., Adlarson, P., Agapopoulou, C., Aidala, C. A., Ajaltouni, Z., Akar, S., Akiba, K., Albicocco, P., Albrecht, J., The LHCb collaboration

“…The data are consistent with receiving contributions from a mixture of Λ resonances with different spin-parity quantum numbers. The angular coefficients show a pattern of vector-axial vector interference that is a characteristic of the type of flavour-changing neutral-current transition relevant for these decays.…”
