Oxidation of difluorocarbene and subsequent trifluoromethoxylation

Difluorocarbene is a versatile and efficient intermediate for fluorine incorporation. Here, the authors show that difluorocarbene can be oxidized to carbonyl fluoride and this process is confirmed in ¹⁸O-trifluoromethoxylation reactions, by observation of AgOCF₃ species and theory.

Anti-interference circularly polarized LiDAR for ocean detection

Solar background and multiple scattering degrade the profiling depth and ocean-color parameter retrieval of ocean LiDAR. Our anti-interference circularly polarized LiDAR effectively suppresses these sources of interference and improves the detection performance, highlighting its potential for diurnal ocean remote sensing.

Suppressing an auxin efflux transporter enhances rice adaptation to temperate habitats

The mechanism through which auxin regulates chilling tolerance remains unclear. Here, the authors discover a negative regulator of chilling tolerance in japonica rice, which encodes an ABCB transporter with auxin efflux function, and show its potential to increase indica rice chilling tolerance.

Impact of prenatal phthalate exposure on newborn metabolome and infant neurodevelopment

Prenatal exposure to phthalates has been linked to metabolic and neurodevelopmental disruptions but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors show that prenatal phthalate exposure alters newborn metabolite profiles, particularly in tyrosine and tryptophan pathways, which are associated with infant neurobehavioral outcomes.

Monitoring ocean currents during the passage of Typhoon Muifa using optical-fiber distributed acoustic sensing

Using microseismic noise observed by distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with a submarine cable, this study measures the magnitude and direction of ocean currents during the passage of typhoon Muifa and estimates the ocean wave propagation.

Sequencing of Chinese castor lines reveals genetic signatures of selection and yield-associated loci

Castor is an important industrial oil crop, but knowledge on its genetic diversity is limited. Here, Fan et al. show geographic pattern of Chinese castors that have developed during domestication by population genetic analyses, and reveal candidate genes associated with agronomically important traits.

Caging tin oxide in three-dimensional graphene networks for superior volumetric lithium storage

The excessive porous space in carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries has to be utilized for high volumetric performance. Here the authors show an adaptable sulfur template strategy to yield graphene-caged noncarbon materials with a precisely controlled amount of void, enabling ultrahigh volumetric lithium storage.
