The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning with Large Language Models (LLMs) requires inferring how people's implicit, evolving beliefs shape what they seek and how they act under uncertainty -- especially in hig...
Cigarette butts (CBs) are among the most pervasive anthropogenic litter globally, posing significant environmental challenges due to their toxic chemical constituents and cellulose acetate filters. In...
Many materials create new habitats for microbial colonization and the persistence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Despite this, comparative studies addressing the microbial diversity and pathogeni...
The subseafloor biosphere is one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, hosting dense populations of microbial cells. Microbial activity is critical to the Earth's geochemical cycles of major elements su...
To address the problems of high-power consumption, large weight-on-bit, significant disturbance, and difficulties in sealing and waterproofing in the traditional Deep-sea Seafloor Drill, a novel piezo...
Spermatozoa represent one of the most sensitive stages of the life cycle in broadcast spawners, as they are directly released into the water column and immediately exposed to environmental contaminant...
Monitoring whale vocalization is of scientific importance and has practical value for marine ecology, hydroacoustics, and geophysics. Conventional monitoring approaches, including hydrophone arrays, o...
Microplastic contamination in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as a major environmental concern due to its potential impact on marine organisms and human health. The present study investigates the abund...
Locating and identifying underwater bodies is challenging because underwater images are often low-luminance, turbid, and have ambiguous backgrounds. Object detection and computer vision technologies a...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as well as current-use pesticides (CUPs) are considered to be contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but there is limited information that exists a...
The Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly, causing shifts in species composition and distributions. While a future "jellification" is projected on a pan-Arctic scale and within the Atlantic Gateway, we ide...
Underwater tactile force sensing is crucial for achieving nondestructive and stable object manipulation in ocean robotics, especially in deep-sea environments where traditional vision-based methods ar...
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are warming at least three times faster than the global average, altering terrestrial carbon delivery to the oceans and marine carbon cycling. The sequestration of such carbo...
The seawater refractive index gradient is a critical optical parameter for characterizing marine environmental dynamics, with significant implications for marine ecology, ocean dynamics, and ocean opt...
Floating wind turbines (FWTs) are key equipment for deep-sea clean energy exploitation, and their structural health condition is directly related to operational safety and energy output. However, FWT ...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
Marine-derived bioactive compounds have attracted considerable attention as functional ingredients for food and nutraceutical applications due to their various biological activities. Among marine reso...
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 ...
