AbstractThe cascade of correlated topological quantum states in the newly discovered vanadium-based kagome superconductors, AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs), with a Z2 topological band structure has sparked immense interest. Here, we report the discovery of superconductivity and electronic nematic order in high-quality single-crystals of a new titanium-based kagome metal, CsTi3Bi5, that preserves the translation symmetry, in stark contrast to the charge density wave superconductor AV3Sb5.

1 INTRODUCTION Giant trees (also known as extremely tall, oversized, large-diameter or big-sized trees), among Earth's largest living organisms on Earth, belong to a distinct class of trees that cannot simply be regarded as enlarged versions of their smaller counterparts.

AbstractThe collective modes of the superconducting order parameter fluctuation can provide key insights into the nature of the superconductor. Recently, a family of superconductors has emerged in non-magnetic kagome materials AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs), exhibiting fertile emergent phenomenology. However, the collective behaviors of Cooper pairs have not been studied. Here, we report a distinct collective mode in CsV3-xTaxSb5 using scanning tunneling microscope/spectroscopy.

Visualization of flax cell wall lignification using a novel click chemistry analogue of sinapyl alcohol Lignin is a crucial component of plant cell walls, supporting plant growth by providing mechanical strength, aiding water transport, and enhancing resistance to pathogens. Despite extensive research on lignin biosynthesis as a renewable resource, understanding the transport and deposition of its monomers remains challenging.

AbstractChina’s extensive planted forests play a crucial role in carbon storage, vital for climate change mitigation. However, the complex spatiotemporal dynamics of China’s planted forest area and its carbon storage remain uncaptured. Here we reveal such changes in China’s planted forests from 1990 to 2020 using satellite and field data. Results show a doubling of planted forest area, a trend that intensified post-2000.
