We report a spin diffusion theory to predict unusual pure spin current transport in unintentionally doped organic semiconductors. We demonstrate that the feasibility of pure spin current transport via polaron hopping at a low carrier density. Our theoretical prediction, 40 nm, for spin diffusion length (SDL) in dinaphtho[2,3-b:2,3-f]thieno[3,2-]thiophene (DNTT) is in very good agreement with experimental data. Interestingly, SDL can be prolonged by restraining molecular geometry structure disorder and reducing the reorganization energy. In comparison with anisotropic organic materials, the SDL in isotropic ones increases up to 60%. Our results open up a new avenue to design organic spintronics devices with long SDL and low carrier density.

Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is a key channel for water transport in peritoneal dialysis. Inhibition of AQP1 could therefore impair water transport during peritoneal dialysis. It is not known whether inhibition of AQP1 occurs unintentionally due to off-target interactions of administered medications.

Article Synopsis
- Biological control using insect predators and parasitoids is becoming less common due to stricter regulations, while accidental introductions of these insects are increasing due to human activity.
- A study analyzed historical data showing over 35,000 interceptions of these insects, revealing a diverse range of species primarily transported through imported plants and products.
- Many intercepted species are generalists and have potential ecological impacts, including both beneficial effects (as unintentional biocontrol agents) and harmful effects on native biodiversity.

Background: The extreme environment of the International Space Station (ISS) puts selective pressure on microorganisms unintentionally introduced during its 20+ years of service as a low-orbit science platform and human habitat. Such pressure leads to the development of new features not found in the Earth-bound relatives, which enable them to adapt to unfavorable conditions.
Results: In this study, we generated the functional annotation of the genomes of five newly identified species of Gram-positive bacteria, four of which are non-spore-forming and one spore-forming, all isolated from the ISS.
The Stockholm Convention at a Crossroads: Questionable Nominations and Inadequate Compliance Threaten Its Acceptance and Utility.
Environ Sci Technol

Department of Environmental Science, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden.
Twenty years since coming into force, the Stockholm Convention has become a "living" global agreement that has allowed for the addition of substances that are likely, as a result of their long-range environmental transport (LRET), to lead to significant adverse effects. The recent listing of the phenolic benzotriazole UV-328 in Annex A and a draft nomination of three cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) for Annex B draw attention to the fact that many chemicals are subject to LRET and that this can lead to questionable nominations. The nomination of UV-328 and the draft nomination of cVMS also raise the spectre of regrettable substitutions.

Aquatic non-indigenous species (NIS) pose significant threats to biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and inflicting substantial economic damages across agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Due to the fast growth of global trade and transportation networks, NIS has been introduced and spread unintentionally in new environments. This study develops a new physics-informed model to forecast maritime shipping traffic between port regions worldwide.
