According to research from China, 25 mega-cities are responsible for more than half of the world s urban greenhouse gas emissions. Cities in China, as well as in Japan and Russia, are notably singled out in the study.
Global greenhouse gas emissions are largely being driven by a small fraction of cities, according to a new study by researchers from China s Sun Yat-sen University and the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution Control and Remediation Technology in Guangzhou.
The research reveals that, among 167 cities studied, more than 50% of urban greenhouse gas emissions are emitted by 25 very large cities. Among these are 23 Chinese cities – including Shanghai, Beijing and Handan – as well as Tokyo and Moscow.

Polarization control is essential for tailoring light-matter interactions and is the foundation for many applications such as polarization imaging, nonlinear optics, data storage, and information multiplexing. A linear polarizer, which is a polarization optical element that filters a specific linear polarization from unpolarized light, plays an important role in both polarization generation and manipulation. However, the generation of arbitrary polarization states other than linear polarization usually requires cascading of multiple optical polarization elements, including both linear polarizers and waveplates based on an
