On September 17th, 2023, Carbon Future, an international interdisciplinary journal sponsored by Tsinghua University, has been officially inaugurated.
Carbon Future is an open access, peer-reviewed and international interdisciplinary journal that reports carbon-related materials and processes, including carbon materials, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, as well as low carbon emission process and engineering. The journal is published quarterly by Tsinghua University Press, and publicly released on SciOpen, an internationally digital publishing platform for science and technology journals developed by Tsinghua University Press.
Prof. Fei Wei, the Editor-in-Chief of the journal of Carbon Future, delivered a speech on the aim, significance and scope of the journal in the inauguration ceremony, following the official release of the journal. Eight globally renowned scientists in carbon-related areas, including one academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences Prof. Chunming Xu, Prof. Fei Wei, Prof. Qingshan Zhu, Prof. Jinping Li, Prof. Jieshan Qiu, Prof. Baojun Wang, Prof. Feng Peng, Prof. Hongwei Sun, and one editor Dr. Li Zhang, jointly launched the new journal.
Prof. Fei Wei, specifically pointed out that carbon has been the most important carrier for decades. The earth and the biosphere embrace the worlds of carbon cycle, thus carbon plays a unique role in our life, and it will play a more significant role in in future to achieve a sustainable society. Carbon Future focuses on the basic and applied research, related to carbon materials, carbon catalysis, low-carbon energy, low-carbon chemicals, etc., and is committed to publishing cutting-edge progress in carbon field, promoting scientific and technological innovation, and creating a multidisciplinary academic exchange platform.
Carbon Future has established an international editorial board with many world leading scientists in the carbon field. The first editorial board meeting of Carbon Future was held concurrently on 17th September 2023. Twenty-eight scientists participated in the meeting offline and virtually. The Editor-in-Chief of Carbon Future Prof. Wei Fei, and Associate Editors Prof. Junwang (John) Tang and Prof. Martin Oschatz delivered the opening remarks, respectively. The Editor Dr. Li Zhao introduced the progress of the journal. Subsequently, all scientists had an in-depth and enthusiastic discussion, and put forward valuable opinions and recommendations. Those famous scientists will actively promote and strongly support the journal of Carbon Future globally.

In a groundbreaking study published in Engineering, researchers have developed a revolutionary method for data storage using DNA. The paper titled “Engineering DNA Materials for Sustainable Data Storage Using a DNA Movable-Type System” introduces a novel approach that utilizes DNA fragments, referred to as “DNA movable types,” for data writing, thereby eliminating the need for costly and environmentally hazardous DNA synthesis.
DNA molecules have long been recognized as green materials ...
Weill Cornell Medicine has received a three-year, nearly $6 million grant to lead one of three national contraceptive research centers. The grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health, will fund the Weill Cornell Medicine Contraception Development Research Center. Led by Drs. Jochen Buck and Lonny Levin, both professors of pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medicine, the center will focus on developing an on-demand male contraceptive.
“It’s an honor to be selected for a second time for this award,” Dr. Levin ...
INDIANAPOLIS -- Frailty is a serious concern in later-life adults due to its association with additional health risks including disability, falls, hospitalization and mortality. The prevalence of frailty has risen over time; about 15 percent of those aged 65 years and older are considered frail.
In one of the first studies to analyze the mediating effects of social relationships in the relationship between childhood experiences and frailty, Regenstrief Research Scientist Monica M. Williams-Farrelly, PhD, has found ...
The onset of embryo-specific gene transcription, also known as embryonic genome activation (EGA), is a crucial step in the developmental journey of an organism. Although EGA has been studied to some extent in mice, human EGA remains largely unexplored, mainly due to the lack of novel in vitro cell models and ethical restrictions on the usage of human embryos. Thus, cell models resembling the human blastomere stage—when the embryo undergoes a cell duplication process—are necessary to study the earliest stages of human EGA and understand the events that occur during early embryonic development.

Water is one of the most abundant substances on Earth and partakes in countless biological, chemical, and ecological processes. Thus, understanding its behavior and properties is essential in a wide variety of scientific and applied fields. To do so, researchers have developed various water models to reproduce the behavior of bulk water in molecular simulations. While these simulations can provide valuable insights into the specific properties of water, selecting an appropriate model for the system under study is crucial. ...
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious disease worldwide and contributes to high mortality and massive economic burden. Hospital mortality among the severe CAP (SCAP) remains high, ranging from 25% to more than 50%.
Early identification of patients at high risk of death is essential for improving patient outcomes. However, predicting outcomes in patients with SCAP is challenging, as the disease is complex and influenced by various factors, including the types of pathogen causing the infection, the host immune response, and underlying medical conditions.
In this study published in eBioMedicine (a Lancet publication), a team led by Dr. Jinmin Ma, BGI Genomics Infection ...
People from diverse religious backgrounds in the United States view curiosity about religion as morally virtuous, according to new research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science. Atheists also view this curiosity as moral, although less moral than a lack of religious curiosity.
Previous research has examined what makes people curious and how curiosity helps people learn new information, but psychologists know less about how displaying curiosity is viewed by other people. The current research finds that people ...
DALLAS, September 21, 2023 — Supporting the next generation of health advocates, the American Heart Association awards five high school seniors with $1,000 college scholarships to energize their commitment to community health through service-learning opportunities.

A groundbreaking anticancer treatment technology that selectively targets cancer cell lysosomes and overcomes drug resistance has been developed by Professor Ja-Hyoung Ryu and his research team in the Department of Chemistry at UNIST. This pioneering research promises a new paradigm for chemical anticancer drugs in the future.
Lysosomes are crucial organelles responsible for breaking down and recycling cellular components. Targeting lysosomes with anticancer drugs has emerged as a promising approach to combat drug resistance in cancer cells. However, ...
(Toronto, September 21, 2023) The United Nations General Assembly held a high-level meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response on September 20, 2023, to continue discussions on finalizing a globally enforceable Pandemic Accord or Treaty that will be presented to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) World Health Assembly in May 2024. This treaty, if agreed to and eventually ratified, will be the second international treaty instrument under WHO auspices, and represents a critical juncture in global health needed to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response in the ...
