Sediments are key reservoirs for rare bacterial biospheres that provide broad ecological services and resilience in riverine ecosystems. Compared with planktons, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the ecological differences between abundant and rare taxa in benthic bacteria along a large river. Here, we offer comprehensive insights into the spatiotemporal distributions, co-occurrence networks, and assembly processes of three divided categories namely always rare taxa (ART), conditionally rare taxa (CRT), and conditionally rare and abundant taxa (CRAT) in sediments covering a distance of 4,300 km in the Yangtze River.

We give for the first time theoretical estimates of unknown rare electron-capture (EC) decay branchings of ^{44}Ti, ^{57}Co, and ^{139}Ce, relevant for searches of (exotic) dark-matter particles. The nuclear-structure calculations have been done exploiting the nuclear shell model with well-established Hamiltonians and an advanced theory of β decay. In the absence of experimental measurements of these rare branches, these estimates are of utmost importance for terrestrial searches of dark-matter particles, such as axionic dark matter in the form of axionlike particles, anapole dark matter, and dark photons in nuclear transitions.

Stable ^{205}Tl ions have the lowest known energy threshold for capturing electron neutrinos (ν_{e}) of E_{ν_{e}}≥50.6 keV. The Lorandite Experiment (LOREX), proposed in the 1980s, aims at obtaining the longtime averaged solar neutrino flux by utilizing natural deposits of Tl-bearing lorandite ores.

Cryogenic crystal bolometer plays a crucial role in searching for neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay, which is a rare process that could determine the Majorana nature of neutrinos. The flagship bolometer experiment-CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events)-operating at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory [Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS)] as the world's first ton-scale bolometric detector has achieved great success and well demonstrated advantages of the bolometric technology for the 0νββ study. The proposed upgrade of CUORE-the CUPID project-aims to achieve higher sensitivity with orders of magnitude background reduction by utilizing scintillating crystals and dual readout technology to exclude most of the background events dominated by alpha particles.

Biogeographic distribution of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities has been extensively studied. Yet, our knowledge of viral biogeographic patterns, the corresponding driving factors and the virus-resistome associations is still limited. Here, using metagenomic analysis, we explored the viral communities and profiles of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in 30 fields of paddy (rice soils, RS) and upland soils (corn soils, CS) at a regional scale across black soil region of Northeast China.
