The use of fly ash to stabilise low concentrations of mercury in the environment
The work investigates if fly ash from Ekibatuz Power Plant can stabilise low concentrations of mercury in the environment and prevent it from becoming soluble in water and in preventing it transforming into the methylated form. The work demonstrates that

Ship-Based Measurements of Atmospheric Mercury Concentrations over the Baltic Sea
Mercury is a toxic pollutant emitted from both natural sources and through human activities. A global interest in atmospheric mercury has risen ever since the discovery of the Minamata disease in 1956.

Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

Mercury: Is it elemental my dear Watson? [PDF]
A case of poisoning with a mercury "solution" is reported. The solution was known to contain mercury but its exact nature was unknown. Despite appropriate initial management, various assumptions were made that resulted in a "toxic" level. The presentation and management is discussed.

Elemental mercury in Atlantic surface water during Polarstern cruise ANT-XXV/1
During the Polarstern cruise ANT-XXV/1 in November 2008, surface seawater from below the ship's hull was continuously pumped through a shower head into a 20 L equilibrator bottle and drained at the bottom.

Study on the Reaction Mechanism of RuOx and Its Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity
In situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal that, prior to the onset of HER, the surface of RuOx undergoes reversible reduction and structural reconstruction. The resulting Ru(II)O/Ru(IV)O2 configuration is identified as the true catalytically active species.

Total mercury concentrations in an industrialized catchment, the Thur River basin (north-eastern France): geochemical background level and contamination factors [PDF]
River bottom sediments and soils were collected from the industrialized Thur River basin (north-eastern France) to assess mercury contamination. The regional geochemical background level of total mercury was evaluated to calculate mercury contamination ...

Coordination‐Tuned Iridium Single‐Atom Nanozymes Boost Multienzyme Activity for Colorimetric Sensing
Breaking the coordination symmetry of Ir single‐atom sites through asymmetric Ir–N3S1 engineering tailors interfacial electron transfer, oxygen activation, and multienzyme‐like catalytic pathways. Operando spectroscopy and theoretical modeling uncover the atomic‐level origin of activity enhancement, providing a strategy for designing multifunctional ...

(Fe4N/GaN)@GC: A Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for High‐Performance Rechargeable Zinc‐Air Batteries
This work demonstrates that an unprecedented Fe4N/GaN heterostructure, stabilized by a graphitized carbon shell, induces interfacial charge redistribution and optimizes oxygen‐intermediate adsorption, enabling highly efficient bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysis for rechargeable zinc‐air batteries.
