Hydrophobicity and molecular weight (MW) are two fundamental properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in wastewater treatment systems. This study proposes fluorescence Stokes shift and specific ...

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an extremely complex mixture of organic compounds that plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. In the Arctic, climate change accelerates the release ...

A global study has revealed that mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) serves as the most stable long-term reservoir of carbon across diverse ecosystems, providing new insights into how carbon ...

DeepMind’s new AlphaGenome AI tackles the ‘dark matter’ in our DNA Tool aims to solve the mystery of non-coding sequences — but is still in its infancy.

Based on the core samples from Well QK-9, this study reveals the climate and salinity on organic matter accumulation through comprehensive analysis of both organic geochemistry (TOC, Rock-Eval ...
