The stabilization of soil organic matter is crucial for global carbon cycling processes as soil
stores large amounts of organic carbon. The occlusion of SOM within minerals sequesters …

Mineral surface properties and mineral-aqueous interfacial reactions are essential factors
affecting the geochemical cycle, related environmental impacts, and bioavailability of …

Mounting evidence of recent spectromicroscopic insights have revealed that the distribution
of mineral‐associated organic matter (OM) at the microscale and nanoscale is organized …

Soil aggregate formation and stability are profoundly influenced by soil organic matter
(SOM) content and electrolyte conditions by altering particle interactions during soil particle …

The rapid increase of nanoparticles in the environment has occurred largely as a result of
anthropogenic activities, such as industrialization, including accelerated mining activities …

Organisms use gene and cell engineering to tailor the mineralization process and
synthesize structure composites with special functions and favorable properties. This spurs …

Minerals and organic matter are essential components of soil, with minerals acting as the"
bone" and organic matter as the" skin". The interfacial interactions between minerals and …

Ecological restoration of bauxite residue has received extensive attention, and organic
matter plays a crucial role in the soil formation process of bauxite residue. However, the …

Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces are initiated by the adhesion
of peptides and proteins. Understanding the adhesion of such peptides and proteins at a …

New advances in atomic force microscopy (AFM) enable real-time imaging of live plant cell
walls. Imaging is achieved by recording the atomic forces between a cell wall surface and a …
