Radiative cooling textiles offer a sustainable energy-free approach to human thermal management by dissipating body heat. However, existing designs often suffer from overheating and overcooling due to their inability to adapt to dynamic environmental changes across time and space. Here, we present an all-weather, multiscenario with self-regulation thermal management intelligent cooling textile capable of self-regulating human thermal comfort around an optimal body temperature of 26 °C. This innovation leverages a durable nanofilm coating with high solar reflectance (94.7%), thermal emissivity (93.6%), and phase change energy storage (110.5 J/g). When applied to commercial fabrics, the coated fabric delivers a pronounced cooling effect, reducing temperatures by 8 °C in hot environments (>26 °C) through heat absorption, while switching phase change exothermic mode to suppress overcooling and raise temperatures by 1.3 °C in cold conditions. This intelligent thermal regulation remains effective indoors and outdoors, as well as day and night. Notably, the coated textile demonstrates excellent breathability, durability, and washing resistance, highlighting the potential for commercial applications. This self-adaptive thermal management cooling technology unlocks new opportunities for advancing the design of next-generation intelligent textile applications.

Sustainable urban development requires actionable insights into the thermal consequences of land transformation. This study examines the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on land surface temperature (LST) in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, between 1998 and 2024. Using Google Earth Engine (GEE), three machine learning algorithms-random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and classification and regression tree (CART)-were applied for LULC classification.

SnSe is a layered semiconductor with intrinsically low thermal conductivity, making it a promising candidate for thermoelectric and thermal management applications. However, detailed measurements of the intrinsic thermal conductivity of SnSe nanosheets grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) remain scarce. Here, monocrystalline SnSe nanosheets were synthesized by CVD, with systematic investigation of thickness-dependent in-plane thermal conductivity.

Heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their exceptional ability to facilitate the separation of photogenerated charge carriers and their high efficiency in hydrogen reaction. However, their overall photocatalytic performance is often constrained by electron transport rates and suboptimal hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics. To address these challenges, this study develops a g-CN/MoS@MoC dual-effect synergistic solid-state Z-type heterojunction, synthesized through the in-situ sulfurization of MoC combined with ultrasonic self-assembly technique.

Cervical cancer continues to be a major global threat to women's health, with approximately 660,000 women diagnosed annually, 94% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The high disease burden in LMICs is partly due to suboptimal adoption and widespread implementation of effective preventive interventions. This study explored drivers of implementation success and failure for a future single-visit, screen, and treat approach with thermal ablation (SV-SAT + TA), referred to as TIBA in Kenya.

The significant global energy consumption strongly emphasizes the crucial role of net-zero or green structures in ensuring a sustainable future. Considering this aspect, incorporating thermal insulation materials into building components is a well-accepted method that helps to enhance thermal comfort in buildings. Furthermore, integrating architectural components made from solid refuse materials retrieved from the environment can have significant environmental benefits.
