Carbon‐Encapsulated Gemini Ionic Liquid as Advanced Bromine Hosts for High‐Performance Zn–Br2 Batteries

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Rapid self‐discharge limits the practical deployment of Zn–Br2 batteries. Herein, a gemini ionic liquid featuring dual bromine‐binding sites and an aromatic linker is confined within porous carbon electrodes. The ionic liquid simultaneously complexes bromine species and interacts strongly with the carbon matrix, enabling efficient bromine retention ...

The prestige oil spill

open access: yes, 2014
The accident on November 13, 2002 of the Prestige oil tanker, transporting 77,000 tons of a heavy fuel oil, 50 km off the Galicia coast (NW Spain), and its sinking 200 km offshore after an oil leakage for 6 days started a massive oil spill, affecting more than 800 km of the NW Spanish coast and even some areas of SW France, including the Galicia coast,

Mechanically Assisted Magnetic Actuation in Ceramic‐Based Microscrolls for Fast and Durable Soft Robotic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ceramic‐based V2O5/Fe3O4 hybrid films are shaped into butterfly‐proboscis‐inspired microscroll actuators. Magnetic triggering initiates unrolling, while geometry‐programmed elastic strain energy drives rapid recoil, enabling fast, reversible, durable, and load‐bearing actuation under near‐field magnetic stimulation.

Environmental Disasters and Mental Health: Evidence from Oil Spills in the Peruvian Amazon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Using a difference-in-difference approach, we test the causal link between environmental disasters and mental health indicators in rural areas of Peru by exploiting the spatial variation of exogeneous oil spills as well as the differences in their timing

Agnuside Stabilizes the Complex I Assembly Factor NDUFAF6 to Reinforce Mitochondrial Efficiency and Thermogenic Responsiveness

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate energy as heat, yet effective strategies to enhance their mitochondrial efficiency remain limited. Here, we identify Agnuside (AGN) as a selective stabilizer of the complex I assembly factor NDUFAF6. AGN directly binds cytosolic NDUFAF6, suppresses its ubiquitination, prolongs its half‐life, and facilitates

A protocol for collecting coastal observations of oil spills from Instagram: case studies from the Brazilian coast

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research
Oil spills cause extensive negative impacts on marine ecosystems. However, detecting and monitoring these incidents remains challenging, primarily due to the lack of real-time data for tracking and mapping oil along the coastlines.
