This paper introduces a physics-informed generative framework that resolves the fundamental conflict between the statistical flexibility of deep learning and the rigorous theoretical constraints of fi...
For the bioremediation of contaminated sites, the efficiency of bioaugmentation depends on the survival capacity of introduced degradative strains in environmental settings. Many isolated strains exhi...
The hadal zone presents one of the most extreme environments on Earth. While amphipods dominate this realm, the adaptive mechanisms of their resident gut microbiota are not fully understood, which is ...
Accurate pressure probing in extreme environments demands robust sensors capable of withstanding harsh conditions. Herein, we report the synthesis of Eu2+-doped Al2O3 (Al2O3:Eu2+) nanorods via a plasm...
Anglerfishes (Lophiiformes) have evolved diverse morphological solutions for life in the deep sea (>200 m). Previous studies have shown that the bathypelagic lineage (Ceratioidei) exhibits high evolut...
Astrobiology assesses the habitability of planetary bodies and the potential for extraterrestrial life. Analog environments on Earth serve as sites for studying extreme environments that resemble extr...
Marine bacteria thrive in oceanic environments and produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) for cell adhesion and survival under extreme marine living conditions. Due to variations in marine extre...
Microbial rhodopsins are light-driven membrane proteins that convert photon energy into biological functions via photocycles initiated by retinal chromophore isomerization. Although their structural a...
Global plastic production surpassed 436 million metric tonnes in 2023, with polyolefins, polyethylene and polypropylene, and polyesters, polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene adipate terephthala...
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by microbial biofilms poses significant challenges to industrial systems. MIC and MIC mitigation cost billions of dollars each year in the US alone....
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and methane seeps host unique animal communities sustained by chemosynthetic symbioses, yet how biological diversification proceeds across these geochemically distinct and ...
Marine organisms have proven to be excellent sources of bioactive natural products with potential therapeutic applications. To date, seventeen marine-derived molecules are on the market for the treatm...
The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has created an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics du...
Deep-sea extreme environments harbor microorganisms with unique adaptive mechanisms. Fungi play significant ecological roles in these ecosystems, yet the regulatory pathways governing their adaptation...
The development of supramolecular materials has opened up unprecedented opportunities for smart, responsive systems. Yet, their practical application in extreme environments-deep space, deep sea, pola...
Deep-sea exploration traditionally focuses on visible animal oases, but extreme pressure in hadal zones (>60 MPa) unlocks metabolic capacities and supports flourishing microbiomes. Beyond the deep sea...
In the 1970s, biophysicists took up the challenge of studying life under high stress after biologists isolated and characterised organisms that thrived in extremes of salinity, temperature, or pressur...
Understanding human's responses to extreme environments holds significant importance for space exploration, deep-sea research, and environmental adaptation. Traditionally, human subjects were used to ...
