The rapid developments in molecular sciences like nanotechnology and self-organizing molecular systems generate a wealth of new here materials and functions.In comparison to electronics the application in architecture remains somewhat underexposed.New functionalities in optics, responsive mechanics, sensing and adjustable permeation for gases and w

Study Region: Yangpota Mountain in Zhuanglang County, Loess Plateau Hilly Area.Study Focus: In dry and degraded ecosystems, water scarcity remains the most significant restriction to vegetation restoration and ecosystem rehabilitation.Plants cannot directly absorb groundwater in the Loess Plateau, so soil moisture is very important for the growth o

Summary: Background: Understanding how environmental factors affect SARS-CoV-2 transmission could inform global containment efforts.Despite high scientific and public interest and multiple research reports, there is currently no consensus on the association of environmental factors and SARS-CoV-2 transmission.To address this research gap, we aimed
