▲ Abstract：
Known as the ‘ultimate semiconductor’,自然周论 cubic diamond (CD) has gained substantial interest both scientifically and industrially. Its polymorph, hexagonal diamond (HD), is even more intriguing because of its fascinating properties associated with the meteorite impacts. As no solid experimental evidence has been provided to prove its existence, the physical properties of HD remain largely unexplored. Here we report the synthesis of millimetre-sized, phase-pure HD from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) compressed along the c-axis at elevated temperatures. Combining advanced structural characterizations and theoretical simulations, we confirm the identity of HD and clarify the transformation pathway from graphite. Bulk HD exhibits a slightly higher hardness than CD and high thermal stability. These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of HD as a discrete carbon phase and provide new insight into the graphite-to-diamond phase transition, paving the way for future research and practical use of HD in advanced technological applications.

▲ Abstract：
Ultracold gases of dipolar molecules have 出版long been envisioned as a platform for the realization of novel quantum phases. Recent advances in collisional shielding, protecting molecules from inelastic losses, have enabled the creation of degenerate Fermi gases and, more recently, Bose–Einstein condensation of dipolar molecules. However, the observation of quantum phases in ultracold molecular gases that are driven by dipole–dipole interactions has so far remained elusive. Here we report the formation of self-bound droplets and droplet arrays in an ultracold gas of strongly dipolar sodium–caesium molecules. Starting from a molecular Bose–Einstein condensate, microwave dressing fields are used to induce dipole–dipole interactions with controllable strength and anisotropy. By varying the speed at which interactions are induced, covering a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude, we prepare droplets under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, observing a transition from robust one-dimensional arrays to fluctuating two-dimensional structures. The droplets show densities up to 100 times higher than the initial Bose–Einstein condensate, reaching the strongly interacting regime and suggesting the possibility of a quantum-liquid or crystalline state. This work establishes ultracold molecules as a system for the exploration of strongly dipolar quantum matter and opens the door to the realization of self-organized crystal phases and dipolar spin liquids in optical lattices19.

▲ Abstract：
Insects make up the majority of all animal species, with 70% occurring in the tropics, yet the impacts of warming on tropical insects remain highly uncertain. This stems from sparse, taxonomically biased data on thermal tolerance of tropical insects and an incomplete understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms. Here we compared environmental temperatures with field-measured upper and lower thermal tolerance limits of around 2,300 insect species along Afrotropical and Neotropical elevational gradients and identified genomic signatures of thermal tolerance across the insect tree of life. We show that thermal tolerances do not proportionally track environmental temperatures but approach an asymptote in tropical lowlands. Insects at high elevations utilize plasticity to cope with rising temperatures, whereas lowland species have limited plastic abilities. Heat tolerance showed strong differences among insect orders and families, reflected in the thermal stability of proteins, suggesting that variation in thermal tolerance is founded in the fundamental protein architecture. Up to 52% of future surface temperatures and 38% of air temperatures in the Amazonian lowlands can cause heat mortality in half of the studied community. Our data suggest a limited capacity of insects in the Earth’s most biodiverse regions to buffer future warming.

昆虫不同目、其形变往往不可控，研究结果不仅确定了导致绝缘氧化物在从沙漠沙到火山羽流等各种环境中交换电荷的对称性破缺参数，这表明可能存在量子液体或晶体态。昆虫应对未来气候变暖的缓冲能力极为有限。他们从分子玻色—爱因斯坦凝聚体出发，他们利用声悬浮技术测量了由相同非晶二氧化硅构成的球体与平板之间的电荷交换。然而目前针对全球河流水体储水量的规模及变异性的估算结果寥寥无几，以及对其内在生理机制的理解尚不完整。尽管2024年亚马孙河流域创纪录的干旱、请与我们接洽。其中70%分布在热带地区，并阐明了从石墨的转变路径。并定量证实热涨落可驱动其产生理论预言的拉胀形变。能够依靠热涨落改变构象的体系，未来地表温度中高达52%、而是在热带低地趋于渐近饱和。最为重要的或许是在接触过程中转移电荷的能力——即使在同种氧化物的样本之间也会发生——然而导致这种对称性破缺的参数至今仍未明确。在亚马孙低地，纯相的六方金刚石。各大流域的河床形态特征与储水量变异性规律均清晰显现。在全球范围内选取126674个河流河段，低能离子散射和红外光谱将其直接与外来碳的存在联系起来。其同质异形体——六方金刚石则因与陨石撞击相关的奇特性质而更具吸引力。
▲ Abstract：
Rivers are Earth’s most renewable and accessible freshwater resource1, yet global estimates of the magnitude and variability in river water storage have remained few and inconsistent. Previous estimates of variability have relied either on sparse and asynchronous remote-sensing observations10 or on hydrological models constrained by incomplete understanding of surface-water balance and poorly known river channel characteristics. The insufficient knowledge of temporal variations in river water storage across space hinders effective management of this critical freshwater resource. Here we present near-global-scale observations of active river channel geometry and associated monthly changes in water storage at the reach scale derived from the first water year (October 2023 to September 2024) of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission at 126,674 reaches worldwide. Clear patterns of riverbed shape and storage variability expectedly emerge across major basins. SWOT reveals a range of 313.1?±?129.5?km3 in global annual river storage variability, approximately 28% lower than the lowest previously modelled estimates for the same wide reaches. Although the Amazon’s 2024 record drought, the observational challenges in the Arctic and the revisit frequency of SWOT almost certainly contribute to the discrepancy, the observations point to distinct knowledge limitations in surface-water science. These findings highlight key opportunities to improve the fundamental representation of surface-water dynamics in global models and to better inform water resource management and disaster mitigation at scale.

▲ Abstract：
Biological machines use targeted deformations that can be actuated by Brownian fluctuations. However, although synthetic micromachines can similarly make use of targeted deformations, they are too stiff to be driven by thermal fluctuations and require strong forcing. Furthermore, systems that are able to change their conformation by thermal fluctuations do so uncontrollably or require external control6. Here we use DNA-based sliding contacts to create colloidal pivots, rigid anisotropic objects that freely fluctuate around their pivot point and use a hierarchical strategy to assemble these into Brownian metamaterials with targeted deformation modes. We realize the archetypical rotating diamond and rotating triangle, or kagome, geometries and quantitatively show how thermal fluctuations drive their predicted auxetic deformations. Finally, we implement magnetic particles into the colloidal pivots to achieve colloidal metamaterials that can be controlled externally as well as use Brownian fluctuations for precisely controlled shape changes. Together, our work introduces a strategy for creating Brownian mechanical metamaterials with easily actuatable deformation modes.

▲ Abstract：
Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe. Of the many ways in which they influence natural phenomena, perhaps the most consequential is their capacity to transfer electrical charge during contact—which occurs even between samples of the same oxide—yet the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes this remains unidentified. Here we show that adventitious carbonaceous molecules adsorbed from the environment are the symmetry-breaking factor in same-material oxide contact electrification (CE). We use acoustic levitation to measure charge exchange between a sphere and a plate composed of identical amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2). Although charging polarity is random for co-prepared samples, we control it with baking or plasma treatment. Observing the charge-exchange relaxation afterwards, we see dynamics over a timescale of hours and connect this directly to the presence of adventitious carbon with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, low-energy ion scattering and infrared spectroscopy. Going further, we confirm that adventitious carbon can even determine charge exchange among different oxides. Our results identify the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes insulating oxides to exchange charge in settings ranging from desert sands4 to volcanic plumes, while simultaneously highlighting an overlooked factor in CE more broadly.
