Fracture behavior of grain boundaries in (U,Pu)O2 fuels: An atomistic study
Abstract Classical atomistic simulations using the Cooper–Rushston–Grimes potential were carried out to observe the stability and the fracture properties of six special grain boundaries in (U1−x${\rm U}_{1-x}$, Pux)O2${\rm Pu}_x){\rm O}_2$. The formation energy decreases as a function of Pu content, while the cleavage energy increases.

Abstract The thermodynamic stability of six distinct compositions within the Zr—Ta—C ternary system is investigated in this study, marking the first report of their synthesis through carbothermic reduction in vacuum. A prolonged annealing process at 2200°C enabled high densification and phase equilibrium.

Cancer incidence, stage at diagnosis, and trends across the Navajo Nation, 2014–2018
Abstract Background American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) people in the United States experience cancer disparities, but little is known about cancer patterns specific to each Tribal Nation. This study describes cancer incidence (2014–2018), trends (1998–2018), and stage of diagnosis across the Navajo Nation, one of the largest sovereign tribal nations

A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation
Silver‑binding peptides are first identified through phage‐display screening, and then engineered into multifunctional and responsive peptides or proteins. These tailored biomolecules can selectively capture and aggregate silver particles or ions from complex mixtures, enabling rapid and efficient silver separation and recovery.
