Ni–Pd Catalytic Synergy on Rod‐Shaped CeO2 for Boosting Low‐Temperature CH4 Oxidation

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Introducing Ni into Pd/CeO2 markedly accelerates deep CH4 oxidation by inducing a synergistic interaction between Ni and Pd species. This synergistic effect significantly improves low‐temperature activity and long‐term stability, providing a rational strategy for efficient CH4 abatement over Pd‐based catalysts under lean CH4 conditions while reducing ...

Multidimensional Engineering Enabling Rate‐Matched C−N Coupling for Efficient Organonitrogen Electrosynthesis

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review introduces rate matching as a unifying design principle for efficient electrochemical C−N coupling and highlights multidimensional engineering of catalysts, interfaces, and reactors to synchronize the generation of carbon‐ and nitrogen‐containing intermediates, balance their surface coverages, maximize C−N bond formation, and enable ...

Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess how nitrogen deposition, alongside other global change drivers such as fire, and changes in temperature, precipitation and human land use, is related to ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Nanocubes and Cuboctahedra: Entropic Stabilization Versus Thermal Segregation in Rock Salt‐ and Spinel‐Type Multinary Oxides from Spray‐Flame Synthesis

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Spray‐flame synthesis enables highly flexible and scalable production of multinary and high‐entropy oxide nanoparticles due to high synthesis temperatures with subsequent quenching. Temperature‐dependent in situ diffraction of as‐synthesized materials clearly reveals entropy stabilization in rock salt lattices, while spinels—featuring tetrahedral and ...

Burning fat fuels photoreceptors

Nature Medicine, 2016
Current dogma suggests that high-energy–consuming photoreceptors depend on glucose. A new study reveals that the retina also uses fatty acid b-oxidation for energy, and that dysregulated lipid and glucose photoreceptor energy metabolism may drive neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Burning the fuel

2000
Abstract The steam locomotive was originally developed for the private railways in the coalfields of Britain, and, not surprisingly, coal was used as the source of heat. Almost immediately after public railways had subsequently started to spread across the country, legislation, in response to public opinion, required locomotives ‘to ...

A model of external burning of liquid fuels

12th Propulsion Conference, 1976
Injection of a pyrophoric liquid fuel into the airstream about a vehicle can generate control forces on the vehicle. A method for calculating the performance of such a system is described. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the drop cloud resulting from breakup of the liquid jet and to diffusion and combustion of the vapor resulting from ...

Burning Fossil Fuels

International Journal of Health Services, 2015
A recent, sophisticated granular analysis of climate change in the United States related to burning fossil fuels indicates a high likelihood of dramatic increases in temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and precipitation, which will dramatically impact the health and well-being of many Americans, particularly the young, the elderly, and the poor and ...
