NiNC Catalysts in CO 2 -to-CO Electrolysis by Zhang, H, Qi, M, Wang, Y

“…Recent study by Strasser et al. in Nature Chemical Engineering presents a high-performance CO2-to-CO electrolyzer utilizing a NiNC catalyst with nearly 100% faradaic efficiency, employing innovative diagnostic tools like the carbon crossover coefficient (CCC) to address transport-related failures and optimize overall efficiency. …”

Buying and selling forest carbon as a commodity is dangerous if it trumps other environmental and social uses by McDermott, C, Kumeh Mensah, E, Mark, H

“…Globally, forests remove nearly all of the two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide that is currently being removed from the atmosphere every year. …”

Medea, a performance history by Macintosh, F, Kenward, C, Wrobel, T

“…<p>Medea, a performance history is a free multimedia/interactive guide to the production history of Euripides’ Medea – an ancient Greek tragedy about a mother who, betrayed by her husband, exacts revenge by killing her children. First performed nearly 2,500 years ago, and continually reinvented since, Medea remains the most controversial yet alluring female role in the history of theatre worldwide.…”

Bubble instability of mIIA on AdS4 x S6 by Bomans, P, Cassani, D, Dibitetto, G, Petri, N

“…Our solution generalizes to the case where S 6 is replaced by any six-dimensional nearly-Kähler manifold.…”

Water molecules mute the dependence of the double-layer potential profile on ionic strength by Limaye, Aditya, Suvlu, Dylan, Willard, Adam P.

“…We analyze these simulations by computing the electrostatic potential profile of the electric double-layer region and find it to be nearly independent of ionic concentration, in stark contrast to the predictions of standard continuum-based theories. …”

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in a Polariton and Photon Laser by Ohadi, H., Kammann, E., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Lagoudakis, K. G., Kavokin, A. V., Lagoudakis, P. G.

“…Below threshold, the polarization noise does not exceed 10%, while above threshold we observe a total polarization of up to 50% after each excitation pulse, while the polarization averaged over the ensemble of pulses remains nearly zero. In both polariton and photon lasing regimes, the stochastic polarization buildup is accompanied by the buildup of spatial coherence. …”

Modulation of spin-orbit torque efficiency by thickness control of heavy metal layers in Co/Pt multilayers by Sethi, Pankaj, Krishnia, Sachin, Li, Sihua, Lew, Wen Siang

“…Doubling the Pt spacer layer thickness reduces the SHA by nearly 1.4 times, due to partial cancellation of SOT by bottom layer Pt, negating the increase from the top Co/Pt interface. …”

Coherent perfect absorption in deeply subwavelength films in the single-photon regime by Roger, Thomas, Vezzoli, Stefano, Bolduc, Eliot, Valente, Joao, Heitz, Julius J. F., Jeffers, John, Soci, Cesare, Leach, Jonathan, Couteau, Christophe, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Faccio, Daniele

“…We show that while the absorption of photons from a travelling wave is probabilistic, standing wave absorption can be observed deterministically, with nearly unitary probability of coupling a photon into a mode of the material, for example, a localized plasmon when this is a metamaterial excited at the plasmon resonance. …”

Annual budgets and rolling budgets use in UK and Australian firms by Bhimani, A, Sivabalan, P, Soonawalla, K, Wakefield, J

“…We find that despite concerns about its applicability, the annual budget overwhelmingly remains a critical planning and control tool, but functions as a performance evaluation tool to a lesser extent. Nearly a third of firms use rolling budgets, for various reasons including planning and control, aligning with annual budgets. …”

Deep mutation, insertion and deletion scanning across the Enterovirus A proteome reveals constraints shaping viral evolution by Bakhache, W, Symonds-Orr, W, McCormick, L, Dolan, PT

“…We engineered approximately 45,000 insertions, 6,000 deletions and 41,000 amino acid substitutions across the nearly 2,200 coding positions of the Enterovirus A71 proteome, quantifying their effects on viral fitness by population sequencing. …”

Instrumental Effects in 21 cm Cosmology: One-point Statistics and Power Spectrum with the HERA Interferometer by Kim, Honggeun

“…I have simulated these calibration errors by modeling realistic perturbed primary beams for HERA Phase II observations. The chromatic calibration errors are critical since they can cause foreground emission to contaminate the region of Fourier space expected to be dominated by cosmological signals. …”
