In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment f...
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold immense potential to revolutionize clinical practice, yet deploying them in the medical domain is fundamentally a vision-centric challenge: models must ab...
International cooperation is a central component of nuclear accident management. Although feedback on the Fukushima accident has highlighted the long-term economic, social and cultural consequences of...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Artificial reefs (ARs), a form of anthropogenic intervention in marine habitats, have a long history of deployment and continue to proliferate worldwide. Based on a comprehensive literature review and...
It is assumed that the eventual sink of global microplastic pollution is the deep sea. The primary vector for sediment and particulate pollutants to the deep sea are gravity currents down canyons alon...
Seagrass meadows of Thalassia testudinum are key components of blue carbon ecosystems and effective bioindicators of environmental contamination due to their ability to incorporate both inorganic and ...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
Palaeococcus pacificus DY20341T, a hyperthermophilic archaeon from deep sea hydrothermal sediments, grows at temperature range from 50 to 90 ℃ (Topt = 80℃). To explore the molecular basis of its therm...
Marine metabolomics has emerged as a powerful approach for elucidating the chemical basis of marine biodiversity, ecological interactions, and organismal responses to environmental change. By profilin...
This study aimed to investigate the acute and chronic toxic effects of two thermodynamic inhibitors (methanol and ethylene glycol) widely used in deep-sea oil and gas operations on two typical marine ...
The hagfish eye is highly reduced, lacking pigment and a lens, and covered by soft tissue. The timing and mode of this loss of complexity remain unknown. Here, we present high-resolution anatomical da...
Construction and operation of offshore wind farms can generate ecological disturbances that reshape coastal nekton habitats and affect marine biodiversity. To evaluate these effects, fixed-station sur...
Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
Extreme and complex environments, ranging from deep sea, polar, and aerospace settings to salt-lake chemical processes, and physiological conditions, demand adhesives with exceptional tolerance and st...
As a priority contaminant regulated by environmental agencies, antimony (Sb) poses significant threats to both human health and marine ecosystems. However, the global long-term trends of particle-boun...
The release of heavy metals from commercial deep-sea mining is likely to be a long-term process lasting decade, and therefore fish communities are actually exposed to a chronic, ongoing stressor. Howe...
Trace elements occur naturally in the environment, but anthropogenic activities can amplify their release, increasing exposure and bioaccumulation in marine predators such as seabirds. Mercury (Hg) in...
