特刊详情 主编寄语 Major developments throughout human history correspond with our mastery of new materials and their properties, from the smelting of steel to the invention of the silicon transistor. Since the discovery of graphene in 2004 by Geim and Novosolov, a multitude of 2D materials have been realised with properties previously consigned to theory. While...
特刊详情 客座编辑 Nelson Villoria，美国堪萨斯州立大学 Megan Konar，美国伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校 Aline Soterroni，英国牛津大学 主题范围 International trade underlies an increasingly globalized food system. Trade stabilizes food supplies by mitigating local shortages and crop failures. Trade drives economic growth through agricultural exports and access to better inputs. Specialization and comparative advantage encourage more efficient food production, while knowledge and technology transfer...
