Article Synopsis
- Subterranean ecosystems, which include underground areas and water systems, are at risk from human activities, and there aren't enough protected areas to keep them safe.
- It's tough to protect these ecosystems because it's hard to figure out exactly where they are and what lives in them, and there aren't enough scientists to study them.
- To help protect these underground habitats, it's important for different groups to work together and come up with plans, and this guide talks about improving protected areas in Europe for better coverage of subterranean ecosystems.
Crystals with complicated geometry are often observed with mixed chemical occupancy among Wyckoff sites, presenting a unique challenge for accurate atomic modeling. Similar systems possessing exact occupancy on all the sites can exhibit superstructural ordering, dramatically inflating the unit cell size. In this work, a crystal graph convolutional neural network (CGCNN) is used to predict optimal atomic decorations on fixed crystalline geometries.

The isostructural tellurides crystallize in a new structure type, in the cubic 3 space group with a Wyckoff sequence of and large unit cell volumes of over 5500 Å. The structures feature a framework of [CuTe] tetrahedra and [CuTe] trigonal pyramids with disorder in the Cu sites.

Water in the ice may affect the reactivity and photoionization of these diols. Ethylene glycol (EG), 1,2-propylene glycol, and 1,3-propylene glycol clusters with water clusters were used as a proxy to study these interactions.
