This work reports a family of microporous, self‐assembled tetrahedral coordination cages that efficiently capture iodine, polyiodides, and methyl iodide from vapor, aqueous, and organic media. The cages display exceptional uptake capacities, rapid kinetics, and high selectivity, enabling the first dynamic vapor‐phase iodine capture by coordination ...

Unprecedented radioactive pollution in Spitsbergen's air – first data of the 21st century
Abstract. This study investigated the Arctic troposphere, providing a comprehensive experimental database on nuclear aerosols that has significantly improved since 1999. The activity concentrations of 238Pu, 239+240Pu, and 241Am were measured in surface air at Hornsund, Spitsbergen, from 2007–2021.

We Are in the Anthropocene—Now What?
Abstract While the term “Anthropocene” is well established across scientific disciplines and social spheres, interpretations are diverse. Taking account of the 2024 rejection by a geological commission to accept the Anthropocene as a geological epoch and the related scientific debate, here we offer a future‐oriented perspective from the viewpoint of ...
