Summary: Incorporating nano-carbon phases into metal-matrix composites is a promising strategy for enhancing electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of metals. The manufacture of novel nano-carbon-aluminum composites by an electro-charging-assisted process (EAP) results in a significant increase in electrical conductivity. The enhancement is attributed to the interaction between nano-graphitic structures and the metal lattice.

Summary: Forming planets around young, fast-rotating solar-like stars are exposed to intense radiation and magnetized stellar winds. This interaction leads to the formation of observable structures, such as bow shocks and induced magnetospheres. Using numerical simulations, this study investigates the interaction between stellar winds and Earth-like, unmagnetized planetary obstacles.

Summary: Recent scientific advances have made it possible to complete the gametogenic cycles of broadcast spawning corals in aquariums, which is crucial for population management and preserving genetic variation. However, the effects of the aquarium environment on the genetic and phenotypic composition of coral populations are still unknown. A pilot project sequencing the genomes of offspring corals and potential parents in an aquarium setting reveals differential parentage and identifies SNPs that may be under selection in the aquarium environment.

Summary: In recent years, the quantification of hydrogen peroxide has attracted increasing attention in various fields. Electrochemical transducers have gained particular interest due to their ease of fabrication, convenient integration with microfluidics and electronics, and cost-effectiveness. This study utilizes the novel technique of Aerosol jet printing to fabricate fully printed nanostructured electrochemical sensors for hydrogen peroxide detection. The performances of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene as printable nanostructures are explored and discussed. Both materials demonstrate comparable limit of detections (LODs) and sensitivity, with CNTs performing better in terms of sensitivity and graphene having a better resistance against noise.

Summary: In this study, the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced carbon/carbon (C/C) composites were enhanced by seamlessly growing graphene nanosheets (GN) on the surface of CNT. The growth of GN improved stress transfer efficiency and effectively stiffened the interface, resulting in a significant increase in interlaminar shearing strength of the composite material.

Summary: In this study, nano-sized silver oxides loaded on activated carbon (nAg(2)O/AC) were found to be efficient for bacterial inactivation in drinking water. The nAg(2)O/AC system demonstrated enhanced inactivation efficiency and stability, mainly through direct sterilization by Ag and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for oxidation sterilization. The pH level and renewability of the nAg(2)O/AC also played important roles in the sterilization process.

Summary: The UN's Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming is outdated and should be replaced by a commitment to restore Earth's climate. Advances in renewable energy technologies have greatly increased our capacity to respond to climate change, and we should aim for climate restoration rather than mitigation. Based on observed and projected energy system trends, it is estimated that global zero emissions could be achieved by 2040 and atmospheric CO2 levels could return to pre-industrial levels by 2100-2150. However, this would require a large-scale deployment of renewable energy and negative emissions technologies.
