Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 548-582, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).

Thermodynamic Insights Into Direct Methane to Methanol Conversion Using O2 and CO2 Oxidants

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
A thermodynamic analysis compares O2 and CO2 for the direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol. While O2 offers higher theoretical conversions, it poses safety risks and favors total oxidation. CO2 presents a safer, more sustainable alternative despite its thermodynamic limitations.
