Partial Differentiation of Europa and Implications for the Origin of Materials in the Jupiter System Academic Background Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, has long been considered one of the most promising candidates for extraterrestrial life in the solar system. Its surface is covered by a thick ice layer, beneath which a liquid water ocean may ...

In-depth Investigation of Heat Transfer Mechanisms in Enceladus’s Subglacial Ocean Academic Background Enceladus, one of Saturn’s icy moons, has tiger stripe fractures at its south pole that are identified as sources of both thermal emission and water vapor plumes. The existence of these heat anomalies suggests active hydrothermal processes beneath...

Impact of Air Pollution from Coal-Fired Electricity Generation on Crop Productivity in India Academic Background India is one of the world’s largest agricultural producers and also one of the most air-polluted countries. Coal-fired power generation is a primary source of electricity supply in India, but the air pollutants it generates, especially n...

Floating Omnidirectional Droplet Vibration Generator: Breakthrough Research Academic Background With the widespread application of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in marine environmental monitoring, how to provide stable power to these devices without relying on the power grid has become an urgent issue. Traditional renewable energy sources such a...

Study on Chorus Waves and Field-Particle Energy Transfer in Space Academic Background Chorus waves are among the strongest naturally occurring electromagnetic emissions, widely observed in the magnetospheres of Earth and other planets. These waves not only pose radiation hazards to satellites and astronauts but also play a crucial role in accelerat...

Global 3D Model of Mantle Attenuation: A Study Based on Seismic Normal Modes Academic Background The structure and dynamic processes of Earth’s interior have always been at the core of geoscientific research. Mantle convection is the primary mechanism driving plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. However, traditional seismic tomogra...

Early Pleistocene Glacier Ice Preserved in Permafrost in the Eastern Canadian Arctic Academic Background Permafrost is a crucial paleoenvironmental archive on Earth, capable of preserving valuable information such as fossils, plant remains, organic materials, and ancient DNA. In recent years, scientists have discovered that the preservation of glac...

Salt Marsh Topography Reveals the Signature of Storm-Surge-Driven Sedimentation Academic Background Salt marshes are transitional zones located in low-lying, sheltered coastlines, situated between land and sea. They are among the most productive and fragile ecosystems on Earth, providing essential ecological services such as carbon sequestration, w...

Terrestrial Ecosystem Crisis at the Permian-Triassic Boundary Academic Background The Permian-Triassic boundary (approximately 252 million years ago) marks one of the most severe mass extinction events in Earth’s history, devastating not only marine ecosystems but also profoundly impacting terrestrial ecosystems. Although scientists generally agree...

Contribution of Buckling to Coseismic Uplift and Long-Term Fold Growth in Active Fold-Thrust Belts Academic Background Fold-thrust belts are significant structural units at the foreland of many orogenic belts worldwide, often accompanied by intense seismic activity. Understanding the complex relationships among fault slip, fold growth, and earthqua...
