The global shift to electric vehicles necessitates the expansion of Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) stations, yet the related environmental and public health impacts remain unclear. Here, we report that the power cabinet at DCFC stations emit fine particulate matter (PM2.5). We collected integrated filter samples from 50 DCFC stations across 47 cities in Los Angeles County, California. The daily

IntroductionGreen spaces and blue spaces associate positively with mental health outcomes. However, research on their effects within the perinatal population is limited. The unique needs and circumstances of this group and their increased risk for poor mental health underscore the importance of understanding their relationship with their immediate physical environments. The current study investigates

Urban drainage systems (UDSs) are vital for managing stormwater and wastewater but face growing challenges due to urbanization, climate change and aging infrastructure. Real-time control (RTC) enhances UDSs’ performance and circumvents the need for system upgrades through adaptive management and repurposing existing systems. Meanwhile, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has emerged as a promising tool

The development of intrinsically stretchable organic solar cells (IS-OSCs) faces significant challenges in balancing mechanical durability and optoelectronic performance. Conventional π-conjugated polymer-based donor/acceptor blend films often exhibit limited stretchability and irreversible performance degradation under mechanical strain. To address these limitations, we propose a novel self-healable

Intrinsically stretchable organic solar cells (IS-OSCs) are emerging as wearable power sources due to their multi-directional stretchability. However, insufficient power conversion efficiency (PCE) and limited mechanical robustness hinder their practical applications. In this study, we develop efficient OSCs with extreme stretchability (crack-onset strain (COS) = 125%) by constructing dual-layered

Correction for ‘CO residence time modulates multi-carbon formation rates in a zero-gap Cu based CO2 electrolyzer’ by Siddhartha Subramanian et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, 17, 6728–6738, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4EE02004A.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have shown remarkable progress in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), largely driven by the development of small-molecule acceptors (SMAs), with PCEs of over 20%. However, the stability issue becomes a critical factor that limits the commercialization of SMA-OSCs. To this end, we developed a novel dimeric giant acceptor (DGA), named DYO-V, featuring alkoxy chains on the

Rudzanová et al. measured per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in human serum and analyzed association with transcriptomic data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. (1) They found that selected PFAS were associated with expressions of genes such as CD19, EBF1, and KDM1A. Among the PFAS, perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA or PFPA) has been detected in 97% of serum samples and showed a different

Dear Dr. Harada and Dr. Fujii, Thank you for your interest in our study and for your insightful comments regarding the potential interference in the measurement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), specifically PFPeA and PFBA. In the case of some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (e.g., PFPeA and PFBA), other substances with very similar molecular weights can indeed interfere. For this
