We study quantum many-body systems in the presence of an exotic antiunitary translation or inversion symmetry involving time reversal. Based on a symmetry-twisting method and spectrum robustness, we propose that a half-integer spin chain that respects any of these two antiunitary crystalline symmetries in addition to the discrete Z2×Z2 global spin-rotation symmetry must either be gapless or possess degenerate ground states.

AbstractBiodegradable plastics, perceived as ‘environmentally friendly’ materials, may end up in natural environments. This impact is often overlooked in the literature due to a lack of assessment methods. This study develops an integrated life cycle impact assessment methodology to assess the climate-change and aquatic-ecotoxicity impacts of biodegradable microplastics in freshwater ecosystems.

AbstractLimiting climate change requires achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions. Although substantial reduction in fossil fuel emissions is essential, it is insufficient for achieving the international goal of restricting global warming to 1.5° or 2°C above preindustrial levels. This target, established by the Paris Agreement, aims to avoid severe impacts of climate change by keeping the global average temperature increase within this limit (1).
