The intensification of climate risk caused by global climate change presents significant challenges to corporate sustainability, necessitating urgent attention to climate resilience as a critical strategic priority. Based on resource dependence theory and dynamic capability theory, this study examines the impact of climate risk on corporate carbon performance. The panel data from Chinese A-share listed…

Study species and sampling design Neosinocalamus affinis is a sympodial, pachymorph bamboo reaching 5–10 m in height, with narrow lanceolate leaves 8–20 cm long and 1–3 cm wide. Leaves of N. affinis were collected from 38 county-level sites distributed across seven provinces in southern China (Chongqing, Fujian, Guizhou, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan) during the 2023 and 2024…

Researchers have developed a way to make twisted oxide materials over much larger areas while maintaining precise control over how their layers are rotated. The advance could help move twistronics closer to practical electronic devices by giving scientists greater control over both the scale and internal structure of these materials. Twistronics explores how rotating one…

Abstract Introduction: Teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) is one of the world’s most valuable tropical timber‐producing tree species, and understanding its genetic diversity and population structure is fundamental for sustainable breeding, conservation, and plantation management. In the investigation, we employed next‐generation single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) markers to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of…

Experimental animals Male S100a9 knockout (KO) mice aged 6–8 weeks and weighing 22–25 g were purchased from the Model Organisms Center (Shanghai, China). Male C57BL/6 mice aged 6–8 weeks and weighing 22–25 g were purchased from Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co. (Zhejiang, China). Mice were housed in standard cages in a room at 23 °C and 50%…

A new six-month trial suggests that changing how much sweet-tasting food people eat does not alter how much they enjoy sweetness. Researchers also found no meaningful differences in several measures related to heart disease and diabetes risk among people who ate diets with high, low, or average levels of sweetness. The findings raise questions about…

In counting geoneutrinos, physicists can get a direct measure of Earth’s vital heat-producing elements. “It’s the one thing we do that focuses on the Earth,” said Ryan Bayes, a particle astrophysicist at Queen’s University in Ontario who works on SNO+. “Everything else we do is more focused on what we receive from other places in…

Abstract Flash floods represent one of the most destructive hazards in arid and semi-arid regions, causing severe damage to infrastructure, livelihoods, and ecosystems. Their assessment is often constrained by limited historical flood records and rapidly changing land-use dynamics. This study develops an integrated and explainable framework for flash flood susceptibility mapping (FSM) in Egypt’s Red…

Betelgeuse’s companion star is finally ready for its close-up. Astronomers have taken a clear portrait of an ordinary star orbiting the famed supergiant. Borrowing imaging techniques from exoplanet hunters, the team captured the dim light of the smaller star amid the light of the huge one. The resulting images are the most definitive detection of…

Scientists have discovered an enormous body of magma deep beneath Tuscany, even though the region shows few of the surface clues typically associated with such systems. Using a seismic imaging method called ambient noise tomography, researchers detected approximately 6,000 km3 of volcanic fluids buried 8 to 15 km below the surface. (6,000 km3 equals the…
