Operando analysis of a solid oxide fuel cell by environmental transmission electron microscopy by Jeangros, Q., Bugnet, M., Epicier, T., Frantz, C., Diethelm, S., Montinaro, D, Tyukalova, Elizaveta, Pivak, Y., Van Herle, J., Hessler-Wyser, A., Duchamp, Martial

“…By contacting a cathode-electrolyte-anode cell to a heating and biasing microelectromechanical system in a single-chamber configuration, a direct correlation is found between the environmental conditions (oxygen and hydrogen partial pressures, temperature), the cell open circuit voltage, and the microstructural evolution of the fuel cell, down to the atomic scale. The results shed important insights into the impact of the anode oxidation state and its morphology on the cell electrical properties.…”

The Cognitive Underpinnings of Legal Complexity by Martínez, Eric

“…Analyzing every law passed by congress between 1951 and 2022 with matched texts from four different genres, we find that laws have and continue to be disproportionately laden with psycholinguistically complex structures relative to baseline genres of English, suggesting that top-down efforts to simplify legal texts over this period have largely failed. 3 Chapters IV and V turn to the producer side, investigating why legal actors write in a complex manner in the first place. …”
