Article Abstract

Presented here are the observations and interpretations from a comprehensive analysis of 16 representative particles returned from the C-type asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 mission. On average Ryugu particles consist of 50% phyllosilicate matrix, 41% porosity and 9% minor phases, including organic matter. The abundances of 70 elements from the particles are in close agreement with those of CI chondrites. Bulk Ryugu particles show higher δO, ΔO, and εCr values than CI chondrites. As such, Ryugu sampled the most primitive and least-thermally processed protosolar nebula reservoirs. Such a finding is consistent with multi-scale H-C-N isotopic compositions that are compatible with an origin for Ryugu organic matter within both the protosolar nebula and the interstellar medium. The analytical data obtained here, suggests that complex soluble organic matter formed during aqueous alteration on the Ryugu progenitor planetesimal (several 10's of km), <2.6 Myr after CAI formation. Subsequently, the Ryugu progenitor planetesimal was fragmented and evolved into the current asteroid Ryugu through sublimation.

Several micro- and nanoplastic particle (MNP) traits, like polymer type, size, and shape, have been shown to influence MNP toxicity. However, the direction and strength of these moderating effects are often unclear, and generalizations from single studies are challenging to establish. Meta-analyses increase generalizability and derive more accurate and precise effect size estimates by combining measurements from published studies.

LiNiMnO (LNMO) is a promising material for the cathode of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs); however, its high operating voltage causes stability issues when used with carbonate battery electrolytes. Ionic liquids are a viable alternative to conventional carbonate solvents due to their thermal stability and electrochemical window. This work reports the performance of LNMO/Li half cells with an ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE) composed of 0.

Introduction: Peatlands store up to a third of global soil carbon, and in high latitudes their litter inputs are increasing and changing in composition under climate change. Although litter significantly influences peatland carbon and nutrient dynamics by changing the overall lability of peatland organic matter, the physicochemical mechanisms of this impact-and thus its full scope-remain poorly understood.

Methods: We applied multimodal metabolomics (UPLC-HRMS, H NMR) paired with C Stable Isotope-Assisted Metabolomics (SIAM) to track litter carbon and its potential priming effects on both existing soil organic matter and carbon gas emissions.

Unlabelled: Marine heterotrophic prokaryotes initially release extracellular enzymes to cleave large organic molecules and then take up ambient substrates via transporters. Given the direct influence of extracellular enzymes on nutrient availability, understanding their diversity and dynamics is crucial in comprehending microbial interactions and organic matter cycling in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, metagenomics was employed to investigate the functional diversity and dynamics of extracellular enzymes and transporters in coastal waters over a 22-day period.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO), a perovskite oxide with both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties, has emerged as a promising material for environmental cleanup due to its piezo-photocatalytic activity. The material's ability to degrade organic pollutants, such as azo dyes, under both light irradiation and mechanical stress (ultrasonic waves) offers a dual-action mechanism for efficient wastewater treatment. In this work, we explore the synthesis of BiFeO nanoparticles a simple sol-gel method, followed by characterization of their structural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties.
