Citizen science study determines that more than one light per person is still on late at night in Germany
Nighttime satellite images have shown that cities are getting brighter, and light pollution is now recognized as an environmental issue. But how should local governments even begin the work of resolving this if nobody really knows what the sources of all this light are? A large citizen science project led by Dr. Christopher Kyba, at the time geographer at Ruhr University Bochum and the GFZ Helmholtz Center for Geosciences, is now shedding light on the matter.

Diffusion Sequence Models for Enhanced Protein Representation and Generation
Proteins are fundamental to biology, executing diverse functions through complex physicochemical interactions, and they hold transformative potential across medicine, materials science, and environmental applications. Protein Language Models (pLMs) aim to unlock insights from the vast space of unlabeled protein sequences by learning rich, semantic representations from primary sequences via masked language modeling. However, these models typically exhibit limited generative capacity. In this wor…

Construction of Urban Greenland Resources Collaborative Management Platform
Nowadays, environmental protection has become a global consensus. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, urbanisation has become a phenomenon that has become the norm. Therefore, the urban greening management system is an essential component in protecting the urban environment. The system utilises a transparent management process known as" monitoring - early warning - response - optimisation," which enhances the tracking of greening resources, streamlines mainte…

A bibliometric analysis on the current situation and hot trends of the impact of microplastics on soil based on CiteSpace
This paper aims to comprehensively grasp the research status and development trends of soil microplastics (MPs). It collects studies from the Web of Science Core Collection covering the period from 2013 to 2024. Employing CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the paper conducts in - depth analyses of literature regarding the environmental impacts of microplastics. These analyses involve keyword co - occurrence, clustering, burst term identification, as well as co - occurrence analysis of authors and institu…

Researchers uncover cause of uranium groundwater contamination #environment

Researchers uncover cause of uranium groundwater contamination
A new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology and led by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health identifies the hidden geological mechanisms behind widespread uranium contamination in Eastern Karnataka, India, where 78% of tested groundwater exceeds safe drinking limits for uranium, and some groundwater uranium contamination reaches levels 75 times the U.S. EPA limit. Uranium exposure can affect the kidneys, bones, and the liver, yet contamin…

GlobDB: A comprehensive species-dereplicated microbial genome resource
Over the past years, substantial numbers of microbial species' genomes have been deposited outside of conventional INSDC databases. The GlobDB aggregates 14 independent genomic catalogues to provide a comprehensive database of species-dereplicated microbial genomes, with consistent taxonomy, annotations, and additional analysis resources. The GlobDB is available at https://globdb.org/.

A Structural Causal Model for Electronic Device Reliability: From Effects to Counterfactuals
Electronic devices exhibit changes in electrical resistance over time at varying rates, depending on the configuration of certain components. Since measuring overall electrical resistance requires partial disassembly, only a limited number of measurements are performed over thousands of operating hours. This leads to censored failure times, whether under natural stress or under accelerated stress conditions. To address these challenges, including device-specific failure thresholds, a parametric…
