Evaluation of Iron‐Phosphate Glass–Ceramic Waste Form for Electrorefiner Salt Waste Simulant Dechlorinated With Phosphoric Acid

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.
This work investigates the formation of high‐alkali‐iron‐phosphate glass–ceramic waste forms made from the dechlorinated product of a phosphoric acid‐based process. The salt simulant is mixed with H3PO4 to form a slurry, heated, and then the dechlorinated product is vitrified with glass formers to obtain the final waste form. ABSTRACT The importance of

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 952-964, May 2026.
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.

Humanity's uranium-238 inventory: A significant and enduring gamma-radiation liability

open access: yesNukleonika
Uranium-238 (U-238), accounting for 99.3% of naturally occurring uranium, primarily utilized for nuclear energy production, is also used in civilian and military applications, leading to vast, geographically dispersed stocks across different byproduct ...

Photoneutron production mechanisms, their characteristics, and shielding strategies in high-energy linac environment: A review

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences
Radiotherapy, a mainstay cancer treatment for patients worldwide, utilizes medical linear accelerators (linacs) with photon energies ranging from 4 MV to 25 MV. However, concerns arise at higher energies (>6 MV, particularly >10 MV).

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 644-666, May 2026.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2654-2672, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.
