▲ Abstract ：

How have plants managed the trade‐off between carbon gain and water loss in a world of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and rising temperatures. Li et al. showed that plant water use efficiency,周论 the ratio between the net assimilation of carbon through photosynthesis and the stomatal conductance of transpiration, increased from 1982 to 2000, but then remained constant from 2001 to 2016. The authors interpret this as being the result of increases in the vapor pressure and intensifying evapotranspiration. Their results illustrate one more way in which the adverse effects of climate warming make it more difficult to achieve carbon neutrality.

▲ Abstract：

Driven by population growth and the goal of improving living standards, especially in the least-developed regions, many African countries plan to expand their power generation capacities to meet future energy demand. Indeed, total electricity demand is expected to grow by 5 to 6% per year until 2050, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet the future of African energy systems will not only be driven by the additional energy demand but also by the need to mitigate and adapt to anthropogenic climate change. Hydropower is an important component of African power systems, especially in sub-Saharan countries. It provides around 20% of total electricity generation, but its full potential has not been exploited yet. Traditionally considered a cheap source of low-carbon electricity, more than 300 hydropower plants, corresponding to an additional 100-GW power capacity, are under consideration across the continent.

▲ Abstract：

Chip-scale optical circuits require the ability to confine, control, and propagate light over ever-decreasing length scales and across different components. Addressing the optical mismatch between components typically results in compromises in size and performance for practical devices. Lee et al. showed that they could confine and guide light in an ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) material (<1 nanometer thick). Using molybdenium disulfide monolayers, they trapped a laser beam and generated a 2D photonic wave propagating along the film over centimeter distances. By integrating microfabricated thin-film optical components, the authors demonstrated various optical functionalities, thereby providing a general platform for 2D nanophotonics.

▲ Abstract ：

Bioelectronic devices can be used to monitor or repair vital tissues in the body, but this often requires direct interfacing and adhesion, which is a particular challenge when the surface is wet. Li et al. designed a double-network copolymer that combines a bioadhesive with a semiconductor. In particular, the brush component included a side group that could absorb water so that on initial contact with the tissue surface, it helps to dry it to enhance adhesion. The authors demonstrate the capabilities of their material by building a sensor for electrophysiological recording on an isolated rat heart and on in vivo rat muscles. —Marc S. Lavine

▲ Abstract：

Conversion of plastic wastes to fatty acids is an attractive means to supplement the sourcing of these high-value, high-volume chemicals. We report a method for transforming polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) at ~80% conversion to fatty acids with number-average molar masses of up to ~700 and 670 daltons, respectively. The process is applicable to municipal PE and PP wastes and their mixtures. Temperature-gradient thermolysis is the key to controllably degrading PE and PP into waxes and inhibiting the production of small molecules. The waxes are upcycled to fatty acids by oxidation over manganese stearate and subsequent processing. PP?-scission produces more olefin wax and yields higher acid-number fatty acids than does PE?-scission. We further convert the fatty acids to high-value, large–market-volume surfactants. Industrial-scale technoeconomic analysis suggests economic viability without the need for subsidies.

▲ Abstract：

Moiré superlattices formed by stacking single-layer materials in a twisted configuration can host many exotic states. However, such structures have been found to be disordered, with the twist angle and strain varying unpredictably within a single sample. Kapfer et al. found an elegant method for controlling the twist angle and decreasing the disorder. The researchers placed a ribbon-shaped graphene layer on top of hexagonal boron nitride and bent one end of the ribbon using the tip of an atomic force microscope. The resulting structure had a twist angle that increased continuously from the point at which the ribbon started bending to its end. Such control is expected to improve reproducibility and understanding of this class of materials.
