A century-long China homogenized daily surface air temperature dataset (CUG-CMA CHDT).

Daily meteorological observation data of the early period (pre-1950) were critically important for investigating the long-term trends and multi-decadal scale variability of extreme climate events.

We extended the SAT observations of China back to 1840 through developing a pre-1950 daily SAT dataset.

Long-Chain Molecular Crystals Antimony(III) Alkanethiolates Sb(SCH) ( ≥ 12): Synthesis, Crystal and Electronic Structures, and Supramolecular Self-Assembly via Secondary Interactions.

Currently, there is not much success in solving the molecular and crystal structures of long-chain metal alkanethiolate complexes [M(SCH)] at the atomic level.

Optical chaotic communication system based on time-delayed shift keying and common-signal-induced synchronization.

Aiming at the difficulty of traditional chaotic-shift-keying (CSK) systems in resisting return map attacks, we propose an optical chaotic communication system based on time-delayed shift keying and common-signal-induced synchronization.
