After 15 years, environmental researcher Kenneth Reckhow can still feel the sting of rejection. As a young scientist appearing before an Environmental Protection Agency review panel, Reckhow was eager to discuss his idea for using an unorthodox statistical approach in a water-quality study. But before he could say a word, an influential member of the panel unleashed a rhetorical attack that sto...

LoraWildenthal’s newest book offers a model for historicizing the recent past with a specific focus on human rights. While Samuel Moyn’s 2010 manifesto on the history of human rights unleashed excitement and controversy within the field and undoubtedly turned historians’ aention to the need for rigorously researched and historically grounded works on the subject, Wildenthal is one of the first...

Global warming is increasing ocean temperatures, forcing marine organisms to respond a suite of changing environmental conditions. The stable oxygen isotopic composition otoliths often used as an index temperature exposure, but the accuracy resulting reconstructions in wild, free-swimming Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) has never been groundtruthed. Based on temperatures from data storage tags (D...

Technology for the rapid detection and identification of chemical agent (CA) residues on solid sample surfaces is being developed at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The development effort is being undertaken because of the critical need for rapid and specific characterization of suspect environmental samples, preferably on-site. Secondary ion mass spectromet...

Klickbare Lanthanid-Molekülsonden sind im Titelbild als Pfeilspitzen dargestellt, und die beiden Bildgebungsverfahren NIRF SIMS werden von zwei Adlern repräsentiert, deren Silhouetten sich aus Ausschnitten NIR-Fluoreszenz- Massenspektrometrie-Abbildugen zusammensetzen. Wie Yao Zhao, Xing Chen, Jun-Long Zhang et al. in ihrem Forschungsartikel (e202208707) berichten, wurde mit diesen klickbaren e...

Precise depth profiling of the various elements present in Si/SiGe heterostructures is crucial in order to optimize the electrical properties of devices. The condensation technique allows the Ge enrichment of low Ge content SiGe layers by a selective oxidation of Si compared to Ge [1]. It can be used to obtain Ge nanowires for the elaboration of high performance devices [2]. Saracco et al. prop...
