- The Wandering Earth II: A happy union between science and film
Authors: Shu Wang; Ewing Luo
Abstract: In 2023, during the Chinese Lunar New Year, a science fiction film from China called The Wandering Earth II was released globally and received an overwhelming response from audiences. In just the first 3 days, it attracted over 20 million viewers worldwide. The film is set in a future world where the Sun is dying out and Earth is facing an impending apocalypse in just 100 years. Instead of seeking refuge in spacecraft, mankind decides to take the planet with them on a journey out of the Solar System, driven by their longing for their beloved home, Earth.

- An emerging plume head interacting with the Hawaiian plume tail
Authors: Lipeng Zhang; Zebin Cao, Robert E. Zartman, Congying Li, Saijun Sun, Lijun Liu, Weidong Sun
Abstract: The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain has shown two subparallel geographical and geochemical volcanic trends, Loa and Kea, since ∼5 Ma, for which numerous models have been proposed that usually involve a single mantle plume sampling different compositional sources of the deep or shallow mantle. However, both the dramatically increased eruption rate of the Hawaiian hotspot since ∼5 Ma and the nearly simultaneous southward bending of the Hawaiian chain remain unexplained. Here, we propose a plume-plume interaction model where the compositionally depleted Kea trend represents the original Hawaiian plume tail and the relatively enriched Loa trend represents an emerging plume head southeast of the Hawaiian plume tail.

- AI-enhanced spatial-temporal data-mining technology: New chance for
next-generation urban computing
Authors: Fei Wang; Di Yao, Yong Li, Tao Sun, Zhao Zhang
Abstract: In the previous few decades, urbanization has accelerated. In 2020, the average worldwide urbanization rate was 56.2%,1 suggesting that most nations are urbanized. Despite enormous gains, contemporary cities’ common resources and infrastructures cannot meet the needs of all people, resulting in undesirable consequences such as traffic congestion, food waste, water contamination, and high crime rates. To remove these impacts, urban computing, which bridges the gap between urban science and computer science, is proposed.

- “C-wetland”: A new paradigm to enhance conservation of
carbon-rich wetlands
Authors: Huai Chen; Zicheng Yu, Ning Wu, Yanfen Wang, Xinwei Liu
Abstract: Wetlands have the highest ecosystem service value among all terrestrial ecosystems. Among their ecosystem services, carbon sequestration and its potential ability to mitigate climate change have been extensively discussed recently, not only in the academic community but in media during COP27 of UNFCCC and COP14 of Ramsar. In particular, peatlands—peat-accumulating wetlands—accumulate 600 Gt C globally. However, peatlands were historically exploited for their peat and reclaimed to other land-use types.

- Climate extremes become increasingly fierce in China
Authors: Zhicong Yin; Botao Zhou, Mingkeng Duan, Haishan Chen, Huijun Wang
Abstract: Heatwaves wreaked havoc across the Northern Hemisphere in summer 2022 and resulted in at least 15,000 deaths in Europe. Eastern China also experienced an unprecedentedly hot and dry summer. The maximum 2-m air temperature (Tmax) at around 300 national meteorological stations broke the historical record, and high temperature warnings sounded for 41 consecutive days. As a consequence, a devastating chain of disasters took shape. With Tmax >40°C, more than 270 million people suffered from heat stress, and there were hundreds of casualties reported due to thermoplegia.

- Magnetic-field modulation of topological electronic state and emergent
magneto-transport in a magnetic Weyl semimetal
Authors: Jianlei Shen; Jiacheng Gao, Changjiang Yi, Meng Li, Shen Zhang, Jinying Yang, Binbin Wang, Min Zhou, Rongjin Huang, Hongxiang Wei, Haitao Yang, Youguo Shi, Xiaohong Xu, Hong-Jun Gao, Baogen Shen, Geng Li, Zhijun Wang, Enke Liu
Abstract: The modulation of topological electronic state by an external magnetic field is highly desired for condensed-matter physics. Schemes to achieve this have been proposed theoretically, but few can be realized experimentally. Here, combining transverse transport, theoretical calculations, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) investigations, we provide an observation that the topological electronic state, accompanied by an emergent magneto-transport phenomenon, was modulated by applying magnetic field through induced non-collinear magnetism in the magnetic Weyl semimetal EuB6.

- More complex interactions: Continuing progress in understanding the
dynamics of regional climate change under a warming climate
Authors: Ping Huang; Xiao-Tong Zheng, Xichen Li, Kaiming Hu, Zhen-Qiang Zhou
Abstract: Our planet experienced a number of extreme climate events in 2022, including extreme summer heat in the northern hemisphere, droughts in China and Brazil, and floods in Pakistan, South Africa, and Australia. Persistent global warming is believed to be the key factor in these extreme climate events, which were rare in past decades. Understanding the physical dynamics of regional climate change is essential if we are to reliably project such events in a warmer climate.1 The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) summarized advances in climate change research prior to 2021.

- Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of scientists
Authors: Ya Wang; Haitao Wang
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on mental health not only in the general population but also in specific groups such as university students.1,2 For example, the prevalence of depression and anxiety increased, and sleep quality and quality of life worsened compared with prepandemic levels. Additionally, the pandemic has disrupted work schedules and affected working time among scientists.3 Moreover, the pandemic has had a greater impact on females and younger individuals.3 Despite the known effects on these groups, the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of scientists and researchers has received less attention.

- Urban aerial mobility: Reshaping the future of urban transportation
Authors: Kai Wang; Xiaobo Qu
Abstract: Urbanization causes concentrated economic and social activities in urban areas, leading to high living standards, e.g., better economy, food, education, housing, healthcare, and entertainment. However, such a concentration comes at some costs, e.g., traffic congestion, pollution, overcrowding, and fast spread of disease, and among these, traffic congestion is a growing problem that is neutralizing the efficiency of urbanization. Indeed, traffic congestion leads to tremendous costs for large cities.

- All-perfluoropolymer, nonlinear stability-assisted monolithic surface
combines topology-specific superwettability with ultradurability
Authors: Wanbo Li; Chiu-wing Chan, Zeyu Li, Sin-Yung Siu, Siyu Chen, Han Sun, Zeyu Liu, Yisu Wang, Chong Hu, Nicola Maria Pugno, Richard N. Zare, Hongkai Wu, Kangning Ren
Abstract: Developing versatile and robust surfaces that mimic the skins of living beings to regulate air/liquid/solid matter is critical for many bioinspired applications. Despite notable achievements, such as in the case of developing robust superhydrophobic surfaces, it remains elusive to realize simultaneously topology-specific superwettability and multipronged durability owing to their inherent tradeoff and the lack of a scalable fabrication method. Here, we present a largely unexplored strategy of preparing an all-perfluoropolymer (Teflon), nonlinear stability-assisted monolithic surface for efficient regulating matters.

- Echinacea purpurea-derived homogeneous polysaccharide exerts anti-tumor
efficacy via facilitating M1 macrophage polarization
Authors: Wenkai Ren; Junfeng Ban, Yaoyao Xia, Fang Zhou, Caihong Yuan, Huanhuan Jia, Hailan Huang, Mingmin Jiang, Minjian Liang, Zhaodong Li, Youyong Yuan, Yulong Yin, Hong Wu
Abstract: Echinacea purpurea modulates tumor progression, but the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. We isolated and purified a novel homogeneous polysaccharide from E. purpurea (EPPA), which was shown to be an arabinogalactan with a mean molecular mass (Mr) of 3.8 × 104 Da and with α- (1 → 5) -L-Arabinan as the backbone and α-L-Araf-(1→, →6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, and →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→ as the side chains. Interestingly, oral administration of EPPA suppresses tumor progression in vivo and shapes the immune cell profile (e.g., facilitating M1 macrophages) in tumor microenvironment by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis.

- Threat of air pollution in the cleanest plateau
Authors: Tianyao Huang; Meng Liu, Ran Xing, Yatai Men, Guofeng Shen
Abstract: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), known as “the Third Pole” and “the Roof of the World,” is a region with unique geographical conditions and contains many areas exceeding 4,000 m. A major section of the plateau is in the Qinghai province and Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Although the temperature in the QTP region has been increasing at a rate slightly higher than the global average since 1979, the temperature in this region is considerably lower than those in the surrounding areas, and many parts of the QTP have annual average temperatures below 0°C.

- MicrobiotaProcess: A comprehensive R package for deep mining microbiome
Authors: Shuangbin Xu; Li Zhan, Wenli Tang, Qianwen Wang, Zehan Dai, Lang Zhou, Tingze Feng, Meijun Chen, Tianzhi Wu, Erqiang Hu, Guangchuang Yu
Abstract: The data output from microbiome research is growing at an accelerating rate, yet mining the data quickly and efficiently remains difficult. There is still a lack of an effective data structure to represent and manage data, as well as flexible and composable analysis methods. In response to these two issues, we designed and developed the MicrobiotaProcess package. It provides a comprehensive data structure, MPSE, to better integrate the primary and intermediate data, which improves the integration and exploration of the downstream data.

- Stem cell retrograde: A new reason why colorectal cancer is more common
than small intestinal cancer'
Authors: Rongkang Tang; Philippe Joseph Sansonetti, Yi-Zhou Gao
Abstract: The intestine is exposed to a dynamic internal environment that is full of physiological stimuli and has a high risk of being invaded by pathogenic factors. It has dynamic fold units referred to as crypts that are composed of epithelial cells to ward off potential damage from gut lumen. Apart from the crypt, the small intestine (SI) contains villi that is covered by functionally differentiated cells, such as absorptive epithelial cells to maintain nutrient exchange with luminal environments. Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are responsible for self-repair mechanisms of the intestine epithelium.

- Electrospinning spinneret: A bridge between the visible world and the
invisible nanostructures
Authors: Wenliang Song; Yunxin Tang, Cheng Qian, Bumjoon J. Kim, Yaozu Liao, Deng-Guang Yu
Abstract: Fabricating novel structures allows for the development of innovative technologies in nanoscience. The methods to fabricate nanomaterials can be categorized based on the key elements determining the final structures of the materials. Electrospinning exhibits unparalleled advantages in the fabrication of nanofiber-based structures by benefitting from the effective interactions between the electrostatic energy and working fluids on a spinneret. As a convergence point of fluids and energy, the structure of the spinneret nozzle plays an important role in the working process and the resulting quality of the fibrous structures.
