Correlation between GNSS-TEC and eruption magnitude supports the use of ionospheric sensing to complement volcanic hazard assessment by Manta, Fabio, Occhipinti, Giovanni, Hill, Emma M., Perttu, Anna, Assink, Jelle, Taisne, Benoit

“…Moderate correlation between IVPI and peak ground velocity (PGV) requires further study in order to evaluate the role of different parameters (seismic magnitude, attenuation, style of faulting, crustal structure, etc.). Our results suggest that ionospheric monitoring by GNSS TEC can help to characterize volcanic eruptions, opening new exciting avenues for continuous volcano monitoring and warning systems by remote sensing.…”

Contrast-enhanced sonography with biomimetic lung surfactant nanodrops by Thomas, AN, Song, K-H, Upadhyay, A, Papadopoulou, V, Ramirez, D, Benninger, RKP, Lowerison, M, Song, P, Murray, TW, Borden, MA

“…To test this hypothesis, we characterized beractant surface dilation mechanics and revealed a novel biophysical phenomenon of rapid interfacial melting, spreading, and resolidification. We then harnessed this unique functionality to increase the stability and echogenicity of microbubbles produced after acoustic droplet vaporization for in vivo ultrasound imaging. …”

The formation and evolution of Earth’s inner core by Wilson, AJ, Davies, CJ, Walker, A, Pozzo, M, Alfé, D, Deuss, A
