Imaging surface structure and premelting of ice Ih with atomic resolution
Ice surfaces are closely relevant to many physical and chemical properties, such as melting, freezing, friction, gas uptake and atmospheric reaction1–8. Despite extensive experimental and theoretical investigatio...

Open AccessIdentifying the causal relationship between immune factors and osteonecrosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
A wealth of evidence intimates a profound connection between the immune system and osteonecrosis, albeit the specific immune factors underlying this connection remain largely veiled. A bidirectional Mendelian ...

Open AccessNanoconfinement facilitates reactions of carbon dioxide in supercritical water
The reactions of CO2 in water under extreme pressure-temperature conditions are of great importance to the carbon storage and transport below Earth’s surface, which substantially affect the carbon budget in the a...

Open AccessBridging the gap between atomically thin semiconductors and metal leads
Electrically interfacing atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors (TMDSCs) with metal leads is challenging because of undesired interface barriers, which have drastically constrained the ...

Open AccessEvaluating the accuracy of hand models obtained from two 3D scanning techniques
The aim of this study was to identify an efficient approach for 3D imaging of hand. The 3D photographs of hand were taken with Gemini structured-light scanning system (SL scanning) and CT scanning. The 3D phot...

Open AccessA first principles method to determine speciation of carbonates in supercritical water
The determination of the speciation of ions and molecules in supercritical aqueous fluids under pressure is critical to understanding their mass transport in the Earth’s interior. Unfortunately, there is no ex...

Open AccessAqueous proton-selective conduction across two-dimensional graphyne
The development of direct methanol fuel cells is hindered by the issue of methanol crossover across membranes, despite the remarkable features resulting from the use of liquid fuel. Here we investigate the pro...

Tetrahedrally coordinated carbonates in Earth’s lower mantle
Carbonates are the main species that bring carbon deep into our planet through subduction. They are an important rock-forming mineral group, fundamentally distinct from silicates in the Earth’s crust in that c...

Open AccessThe refractive index and electronic gap of water and ice increase with increasing pressure
Determining the electronic and dielectric properties of water at high pressure and temperature is an essential prerequisite to understand the physical and chemical properties of aqueous environments under supe...
