The conventional sea water desalination technologies are not yet adopted worldwide, especially in the third world countries due to their high capital cost as well as large energy requirement. To solve this issue in a sustainable way an interfacial solar water evaporation device is designed and proposed in this article using the branches of Prunus serrulata (PB). The PB has abundant microchannels and shows excellent photothermal conversion capability after carbonization.

However, improving the water evaporation efficiency, simplifying the fabrication process, and reducing the overall cost of the evaporator are still challenging. Here, an efficient and sustainable solar water evaporator is fabricated with carbonized ginkgo biloba leaves as the structural basis of photothermal materials.

- CaMKII is crucial for synaptic plasticity, and recent studies suggest that various modulators influence its activity, particularly regarding long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal neurons.
- A new long non-coding RNA named Carip has been identified, which acts as a scaffold that interacts with CaMKIIβ to regulate the phosphorylation of AMPA and NMDA receptor subunits.
- The absence of Carip disrupts synaptic transmission and reduces LTP, ultimately leading to impairments in spatial learning and memory in mice.
