Science Learn more Researchers in China say the semiconductor gallium nitride offers remarkable potential in photonic quantum chips The material hosts a much wider range of wavelengths and can be used to build other components, they say Science Ling Xin. Researchers in China have moved a step closer to building with the world-first use of a common semiconductor to create a quantum light source.

Understanding the spatial variation and formation mechanism of biological diversity is a hot topic in ecological studies. Comparing with α diversity, β diversity is more accurate in reflecting community dynamics. During the past decades, β diversity studies usually focused on plants, mammals, and birds.

1. IntroductionDue to environmental changes linked to global warming, the agricultural value chain is faced with the challenge of managing increasing soil salinity levels. Changes in precipitation cause environmental modifications such as lowering water tables and salt-water intrusion as sea...
