1. Climate change impacts on snow avalanche activity and related risks 

   Eckert, Nicolas; Corona, Christophe; Giacona, Florie; et al. (2024)

   NATURE REVIEWS EARTH & ENVIRONMENT

   In the rapidly evolving mountain cryosphere, snow avalanches threaten livelihoods, settlements and infrastructure. In this Review, we analyse past and projected impacts of climate change on avalanche activity and the associated risks. The limited availability of comprehensive datasets, the potential confounding factors and the limitations of statistical approaches can make it difficult to identify trends in avalanche activity. However, ...

   Heterojunctions present a promising avenue for improving charge separation in photocatalytic water purification processes. However, the multicomponent heterojunction interfaces often act as recombination centers for photogenerated carriers. Herein, a Ti-based homologous-like heterojunction was fabricated by in-situ growth of controllable CaTiO3 on sulfur-doped TiO2 (STCTO). This heterojunction exhibits outstanding performance in photocatalytic ...

3. Experimental Study of the Earth Pressure Evolution on a Model Wall Rotating about Its Base 

   Perozzi D.; Puzrin A.M. (2024)

   Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering

   Quantifying the earth pressure acting on retaining structures is essential for a number of engineering applications, including the assessment of damaged structures. In response to the widespread corrosion found in many cantilever retaining walls in Switzerland, this study investigates the evolution of the earth pressure acting on a retaining wall rotating about its base: The dominant deformation mode for such structures. In a controlled ...

5. Vimentin filaments integrate low-complexity domains in a complex helical structure 

   Eibauer, Matthias; Weber, Miriam S.; Kronenberg-Tenga, Rafael; et al. (2024)

   Nature Structural & Molecular Biology

   Intermediate filaments (IFs) are integral components of the cytoskeleton. They provide cells with tissue-specific mechanical properties and are involved in numerous cellular processes. Due to their intricate architecture, a 3D structure of IFs has remained elusive. Here we use cryo-focused ion-beam milling, cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to obtain a 3D structure of vimentin IFs (VIFs). VIFs assemble into a modular, intertwined ...
