Iridium Oxide Coordinatively Unsaturated Active Sites Govern the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Water by Velasco Vélez, Juan Jesús, Bernsmeier, Denis, Mom, Rik V., Zeller, Patrick, Shao‐Horn, Yang, Roldan Cuenya, Beatriz, Knop‐Gericke, Axel, Schlögl, Robert, Jones, Travis E.

“…By combining <jats:italic>operando</jats:italic> resonant photoemission measurements of different films with ab initio simulations these are able to unambiguously distinguish µ<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>‐O (bridging oxygen) and µ<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐O (terminal oxygen) in the near‐surface regions of the catalysts. The intrinsic activity of iridium oxide scales with the formation of µ<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐O (terminal oxygen) is found. …”

Comprehensive analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the B0 → K*0μ+μ− decay by Aaij, R., Abdelmotteleb, A. S. W., Abellan Beteta, C., Abudinén, F., Ackernley, T., Adefisoye, A. A., Adeva, B., Adinolfi, M., Adlarson, P., Agapopoulou, C., Aidala, C. A., Ajaltouni, Z., Akar, S., Akiba, K., Albicocco, P., Albrecht, J.

“…This measurement employs for the first time a model of both one-particle and two-particle nonlocal amplitudes, and utilises the complete dimuon mass spectrum without any veto regions around the narrow charmonium resonances. In this way it is possible to explicitly isolate the local and nonlocal contributions and capture the interference between them. …”

Design and Evaluation of a Precision Irrigation Tool’s Human–Machine Interaction to Bring Water- and Energy-Efficient Irrigation to Resource-Constrained Farmers by Van de Zande, Georgia D., Grant, Fiona, Sheline, Carolyn, Amrose, Susan, Costello, Jeffery, Ghodgaonkar, Aditya, Winter V, Amos G.

“…As freshwater supplies decrease, adopting sustainable practices like water- and energy-efficient irrigation is crucial, particularly in resource-constrained regions. Here, farmers often cannot purchase precision irrigation equipment, which achieves high water and energy efficiencies via full automation. …”
