Assessing Consistency in Fuel Consumed Between Activity‐Based Wildfire Emission Estimates
Geophysical Research LettersWildfire emission inventories exhibit large variability that complicates assessments of smoke impacts. Here we compare fuel consumed (in mass per burned area units) from multiple burn area‐based and energy‐based approaches for fires in the western US ...

Breed-and-burn fuel cycle in molten salt reactors
EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2019 The operation of a reactor on an open but self-sustainable cycle without actinide separation is known as breed-and-burn. It has mostly been envisioned for use in solid-fueled fast-spectrum reactors such as sodium-cooled fast reactors.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.
