This special issue, titled " Planning for Low-carbon and Intelligent Transportation and Energy Systems of Cities," aims to present a comprehensive overview of multidisciplinary research in intelligent transportation systems, energy systems, and sustainable urban mobility.

This special issue aims to critically explore how urban and rural planning education can evolve to address the requirements brought about contemporary urbanization.

In today's world, urban technology has become a key factor in shaping the sustainable development of future cities. With the accelerating process of urbanization in many developing countries, how to take the advantages of technology to meet the challenges facing cities has become a major task of planning scholars and professionals.

This special issue invites interdisciplinary contributions that critically examine the role of digital technologies in advancing urban heritage preservation and promoting sustainable development. We welcome research articles, case studies, and theoretical analyses that investigate how digital approaches can address the complex challenges faced by heritage in urban contexts.

This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the historical evolution, present state, and future directions of urban planning across multiple dimensions.

We invite research on the genomics of adaptation to hot and cold environments, exploring the genetic mechanisms that enable organisms to thrive in extreme environments. We invite submissions that investigate genomic adaptations in both plants and animals, focusing on evolutionary processes, resilience to climate change, and the implications for biodiversity conservation. Through this work, we seek to enhance our understanding of how life can persist and adapt in the face of challenges.

This topic investigates deep learning applications in social network analysis, focusing on neural architectures that uncover hidden patterns, predict influence, and model complex interactions among users.

This Scientific Data collection of articles focuses on descriptions of datasets relevant to stress detection, captured through techniques such as EEG, ECG, EDA, EMG, and heart‑rate monitoring.

This Annals of Intensive Care collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research, clinical practices, and emerging therapies related to coagulation and hemostatic disorders in critically ill patients. The focus will be on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of coagulation abnormalities in various critical care settings, including sepsis, trauma, liver disease, and COVID-19.

This Scientific Reports Collection showcases research on engineered assessment methods, contaminant transport analysis, and strategies to manage and protect groundwater resources.

Drive the future of sustainable biomanufacturing. This collection highlights cutting‑edge enzyme engineering, biomass deconstruction, and integrated bioprocessing that enable next‑generation lignocellulosic biorefineries. Showcase innovations accelerating cleaner, efficient, multi‑product biofuel and bioproduct production.

This Scientific Reports Collection invites original research that advances understanding of soil erosion processes and evaluates innovative, evidence‑based strategies for mitigating this global environmental challenge.

This Collection brings together advances in wearable bioelectronic devices that monitor and modulate physiology across multiple organ systems - brain, heart, and gut - to provide a holistic view of neurological and autonomic health.

A 25th‑anniversary collection showcasing innovative, global mental‑health research that advances diagnosis, treatment, equity, and the future of general psychiatry.
