Respatializing Toxic Harm: The Case Against Sacrifice Zones

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Describing heavily polluted areas as “sacrifice zones” has become commonplace in recent decades, as diverse groups resist their unwitting exposure to destructive and toxic industrial, municipal, and military activities. However, pollutants tend to seep, spill, leak, and drift from wherever they are concentrated, defying any notion of physical ...

Crossing scales and eras: Correlative multimodal microscopy heritage studies

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 1, Page 40-68, January 2026.
Abstract The comprehensive characterisation of complex, irreplaceable cultural heritage artefacts presents significant challenges for traditional analytical methods, which can fall short in providing multi‐scale, non‐invasive analysis. Correlative Multimodal Microscopy (CoMic), an approach that integrates data from multiple techniques, offers a ...

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3197-3229, December 2025.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
