First‐principles study reveals Zr‐doped ThC maintains superior thermal conductivity and rigidity; Ta‐doping induces structural softening, whereas Nb enhances covalent bonding. These atomic‐scale insights guide the design of advanced thorium‐based nuclear fuels with tailored thermomechanical properties.

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

This study retrospectively analyzed two types of respiratory phase CT and PET/CT images of 20 lung cancer patients. After DIR and functional grading, three lung function images were developed, and their correlations and differences were evaluated. Abstract Background Pulmonary ventilation–perfusion function plays a crucial role in both radiotherapy ...

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
