▲ Abstract：

Baryon quantum number is 科学found to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. Conventionally, each fractionally charged valence quark is understood to carry one-third of a baryon number. An alternative hypothesis posits that baryon number is instead carried by a baryon junction—a nonperturbative, Y-shaped gluonic configuration. Neither scenario has been verified experimentally. The STAR Collaboration reports measurements at mid-rapidity of baryon number (B) over the electric charge number difference (?Q) in isobar nuclear collisions, and the net-proton yield along rapidity in photonuclear collisions. A larger B/?Q ratio and less asymmetric net-proton yield are observed than predicted from models assigning baryon number to valence quarks. These findings, corroborated by previous measurements in Au+Au collisions, disfavor the valence quark picture.

▲ Abstract：

The 科学electrical properties of polycrystalline materials are governed by crystallite characteristics and spatial arrangement. We grew ruthenium polycrystals with a near-complete out-of-plane preferred orientation and predominantly low-energy grain boundaries on amorphous dielectric substrates, without relying on epitaxial growth or lattice-matched conditions. Whereas prior studies used high-density, high-quality polycrystalline materials derived from high-purity sources, we exploited trace carbon as a transient promoter at grain boundaries, revealing that it generated transient free volume during recrystallization and thus facilitated atomic migration, driving the dynamic vertical and horizontal orientation of grains. Our findings provide microscopic insights into the engineering of grain boundary kinetics through controlled trace element incorporation. The developed strategy is applicable to other polycrystalline materials, offering versatility for advanced material design and applications.

▲ Abstract：

The feedback between competition and evolution is central to hypotheses about the origin and maintenance of species diversity. Yet, whether competition-induced evolution is sufficiently rapid, consistent, and strong to maintain diversity on ecological timescales remains unresolved. We conducted an outdoor mesocosm experiment with four pairs of orchard fly species in which we manipulated species’ ability to evolve to one another during interspecific competition. We found significant competition-induced rapid evolution across phenotypes, which typically shifted in parallel across species. This evolution strongly affected the competitive population dynamics of all species pairs, typically boosting the rarer species’ abundance, and in one pair, reversing the abundance hierarchy. These results suggest that feedback between competition and evolution may be common and maintain species diversity on ecological timescales.

▲ Abstract：

The formation of metaphase chromosomes requires the activity of condensins, DNA translocases that reduce chromosomal length through the process of loop extrusion. Reduction of length, however, does not account for the increase in density of chromatin in condensed states. Here, we show that eukaryotic chromosomes are ionic hydrogels and that the chromosomal material is a two-state system, with interconversion between condensed and decondensed states through a volume phase transition, analogous to a liquid-gas transition. Ionic contacts between histone tails and DNA, formed and broken by histone acetylation and deacetylation, may control the transition and be responsible for condensation in heterochromatin and decondensation in euchromatin.

Forest canopy decline under elevated CO₂during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum

古新世—始新世极热事件期间，然而，

▲ Abstract：

Uncertainty remains regarding the impact of rapid anthropogenic warming on forest ecosystem structure, biodiversity, and function. As an analog, we reconstruct forest canopy density and compositional change in Wyoming, USA, through the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), an interval of abrupt carbon increase and warming ~56 million years ago. We develop a proxy to quantify leaf area index and assess shifts in floral composition using palynomorphs. Forest canopies opened abruptly at onset of PETM warming, landscape erosion increased, and vegetation shifted from broad-leaved angiosperm to fern- and palm-dominated ecosystems. When combined with regional data, these patterns suggest that continental-scale changes in plant communities cause landscape destabilization. These shifts also have implications for multimillennial-scale hydrologic and carbon cycle feedbacks in the climate system.

▲ Abstract：

Shark populations on coral reefs have declined globally, but few baselines exist to quantify natural variability before human impact. Using fossil dermal denticles preserved in reef sediments, we reconstructed shark communities across the Isthmus of Panama before substantial exploitation [~7 to 3 thousand years ago (ka)] and recently (past century). We found differences in shark baselines and responses to fishing between the oceans on either side of the Isthmus. Reefs in the Pacific supported an ~20-fold higher shark abundance than Caribbean reefs before human impact. Caribbean shark populations—particularly pelagic species—have declined by 75% since the mid-Holocene, whereas their Pacific counterparts persisted over millennia despite higher fishing pressure. These contrasting trajectories are consistent with differences in oceanic productivity that dictate regional carrying capacities, highlighting the importance of incorporating oceanographic context into marine conservation targets.
