Spaceborne resonance fluorescence Doppler lidar uses metal atoms as tracers to detect atmospheric temperature, wind speed, and metal atom number density from the top of the mesosphere to the bottom of the thermosphere in the global atmosphere. This study proposes a concept of spaceborne Fe resonance fluorescence Doppler lidar (spaceborne Fe lidar). To theoretically analyze the feasibility of this technology, key parameters of the lidar were designed.

This study presents a novel hybrid mesoporous material for degrading drug pollutants in water. The hybrid materials, derived from UiO-66 metal-organic framework and chitosan, coated on nano-silica, showed excellent drug adsorption through hydrogen-bonding interactions and efficient photodegradation of antibiotics. The hybrid material's enhanced conductivity and reduced band gap significantly improved pollution reduction by minimising electron-hole recombination.

In this study, a simple novel hybrid mesoporous nanomaterial derived from a metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) and chitosan, which were coated on green bismuth oxide, has been successfully synthesized, characterized, and applied to investigate its dapsone loading-releasing capability in the aqueous media. This suggested nanocomposite showed promise for drug loading from water b using hydrogen bonds, pi-pi, and electrostatic interactions. Structural and morphological analyses were performed on the proposed green synthesized nanocomposite through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis.

Mesospheric Green emissions from excited Oxygen in Sprite Tops (ghosts) are infrequent and faint greenish transient luminous events that remain for hundreds of milliseconds on top of certain energetic sprites. The main hypothesis to explain this glow persistence is the long lifetime of excited atomic oxygen at 557.73 nm, a well-known emission line in aurora and airglow.

A new aluminum-bearing species, OAlNO, which has the potential to impact the chemistry of the Earth's upper atmosphere, is characterized via high-level, , spectroscopic methods. Meteor-ablated aluminum atoms are quickly oxidized to aluminum oxide (AlO) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), where a steady-state layer of AlO then builds up. Concurrent formation of nitric oxide (NO) in the same region of the atmosphere will lead to the bimolecular formation of the OAlNO molecule.
