Climate policy models usually assume people hold accurate beliefs about climate damages. A new study builds disinformation into a climate–economy model and finds that informed democratic majorities can deliver stronger carbon taxes than a politically constrained planner, but this advantage collapses abruptly once disinformation tips the majority. Late and persistent disinformation yields the most severe warming, while counter-disinformation efforts can largely restore effective policy.

First report of whole virome profiling of Naemorhedus griseus, identifying diverse viruses across multiple organ tissues. Identification and characterization of multiple mammalian viruses: including parvoviruses, picobirnaviruses, phenuivirus. Furthermore, this study provides insights into genetic diversity of Naemorhedus griseus-borne viruses and their cross-species transmission dynamics.

In the review, researchers summarize the latest advances in triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) fibers for self-powered sensing in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These fiber- and fabric-based sensors are flexible, breathable, and comfortable, converting the wearer's movements and physiological signals directly into electrical signals that drive immersive human–computer interaction. The authors survey TENG fiber structures, scalable production and integration methods, strategies to boost electrical output, and key VR/AR applications—from wearable virtual buttons to gesture recognition and virtual-character control—while outlining the remaining challenges on the path to practical, commercializable products.

A review traces One Health from historical disease-control lessons to today’s interconnected threats and proposes an “interface-resilience” model. The model links spillover pressure, microbial community stability and governance connectivity to systemic health risk, offering a framework for earlier warning, cross-sector surveillance and preventive, data-driven health governance.

A new review traces more than 70 years of microecology research in China, from early ideas about microbial balance to today’s work in precision medicine, sustainable agriculture and environmental restoration. The authors argue that combining artificial intelligence, synthetic biology and international collaboration could help turn microbiome science into practical solutions for human, animal and environmental health.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials involving 969 patients found that virtual reality (VR) was associated with short-term reductions in cancer-related pain and anxiety. Effects appeared more consistent in procedural settings and pediatric populations. However, because the evidence was low certainty and study methods varied substantially, further high-quality trials are needed before routine implementation.
