Announcing a new publication for Marine Development journal. In this research article the authors Yanping Wang, Wensheng Jiang, Xing Liu, Qi Liao, Ge Yu and Changwei Bian from Ocean University of China, Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Qingdao, China and Beijing Institute of Applied Meteorology, Beijing, China discuss estimation of future storm surge inundation and effects of the adaptation measures in Qingdao, China.

In a significant advance for sustainable energy, scientists have developed a new method to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into formate, a valuable chemical, through a solar-driven process. This innovative approach boosts both the efficiency and selectivity of CO₂ conversion, presenting a dual solution for renewable energy utilization and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In a recent paper in Nature Physics, an international research collaboration used world-class instrumentation at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to study the exotic nuclide, or rare isotope, chromium-62. Researchers used a gamma-ray spectroscopy experiment in tandem with theoretical models to identify an unexpected variety of shapes in chromium-62. The finding provides more insight into so-called “islands of inversion,” or regions in the nuclear chart where certain nuclides diverge from traditional viewpoints based on the properties of stable nuclei.
