Roadmap on quantum nanotechnologies
2021
Quantum phenomena are typically observable at length and time scales smaller than those of our everyday experience, often involving individual particles or excitations. The past few decades have seen a revolution in the ability to structure matter at the nanoscale, and experiments at the single particle level have become commonplace. This has opened wide new avenues for exploring and harnessing quantum mechanical effects in condensed matter. These quantum phenomena, in turn, have the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate, compute and probe the nanoscale world. Here, we review developments in key areas of quantum research in light of the nanotechnologies that enable them, with a …
Identifying priority areas for restoring large mammal populations in the Caucasus Ecoregion
2018
Large mammals play critical roles in ecosystems, yet their populations are across the globe as a result of habitat loss, overhunting, and human-wildlife conflicts. Some of these threats have lessened considerably in parts of Europe, particularly in mountain regions, and this offers unique opportunities for restoring large mammal populations to ecologically functional levels. However, many species require active conservation planning and management for achieving this goal. We focused on the Caucasus Ecoregion, a global biodiversity hotspot at the crossroads of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, with a variety of large carnivore and herbivore species. The collapse of the Soviet Union i…
