The CO<sub>2</sub> molecules can acquire electrons and get activated by the photoactivated Cu<sup>1+</sup>, leading to the transition of Cu<sup>1+</sup> sites into Cu<sup>2+</sup> sites.

If the Λ(1405) possesses a two-pole molecular structure, these poles are expected to evolve differently towards the SU(3) limit. From an analysis of a recent LQCD simulation on the πΣ-K‾N scattering for I=0 and the study of the quark mass dependence of the octet baryon masses, we determine for the first time the trajectories of these poles towards the symmetric point over the Tr[M]=C trajectory accurately. At m<sub>π</sub>≃200 MeV, our results are consistent with the lattice simulations, and the extrapolations to the physical point, based on the NLO chiral Lagrangians, agree well with existing experimental analyses. We predict qualitatively similar trajectories at LO and up to NLO, consistent with the LO interaction's dominance. At the SU(3) symmetric point of this trajectory, both poles are on the physical sheet, and the lower pole is located at E<sup>(1)</sup>=1573(6)(6) MeV, becoming a SU(3) singlet, while the higher pole at E<sup>(8a)</sup>=1589(7)(5) MeV couples to the octet representation. Moreover, we make predictions in I=1 for the Σ<sup>∗</sup> resonance. We find a resonance pole that evolves into a bound state around m<sub>π</sub>=415 MeV in this sector. The results presented here are crucial to shed light on the molecular nature of exotic strange baryon resonances and can be tested in future LQCD simulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143960085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we show a threefold increase in the MJO residence time over the Indian Ocean during the Asian summer monsoon in recent four decades. This drastic increase is closely associated with the rapid warming of the Indian Ocean, which contributes to increased extreme climate events across Indian Ocean rim countries. This peculiar warming pattern is projected to persist under anthropogenic warming, potentially facilitating prolonged MJO activity over the Indian Ocean with higher climatic disaster risks in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":"70 7","pages":"Pages 1174-1181"},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143412661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
