Most environmental monitoring programs on organic contaminants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), have a restricted explicit geographical scope, targeting a specific country or region. Such programs often aim ...

nm-Range forces acting between calcite surfaces in water affect macroscopic properties of carbonate rocks and calcite-based granular materials and are significantly influenced by calcite surface recrystallization. We suggest ...

The electromagnetic structure of Sm140 was studied in a low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment with a radioactive ion beam from the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The 2+ and 4+ states of the ground-state band and a second ...

East Asia is the strongest global source region for anthropogenic black carbon (BC), the mostimportant light-absorbing aerosol contributing to direct radiative climate forcing. To provide extendedobservational constraints ...

The San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California experiences high concentrations of particulate matterNH4NO3during episodes of meteorological stagnation in winter. A rich data set of observations related toNH4NO3formation was ...

A complete chemical and morphological analysis of the evolution of battery electrode materials can be achieved combining different and complementary techniques. Operando small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle ...

Chorismate mutase is a well‐known model enzyme, catalyzing the Claisen rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate. Recent high‐resolution crystal structures along the reaction coordinate of this enzyme enabled computational ...

A method for calculating stored magnetic energy in a thin superconducting film based on quantitative magneto-optical imaging is developed. Energy and magnetic moment are determined with these calculations for full hysteresis ...
