Uranium mobility in the subsurface depends strongly on its oxidation state, with uranium(IV) being significantly less soluble than uranium(VI).

Seven years of experimental air and soil warming in tundra show that soil warming and permafrost thaw had a much stronger effect on carbon balance

Scientists who study crystal formation and growth have long known that nanosize crystals suspended in a liquid medium often aggregate to form large

Vitamin B12 is used by all domains of life to control the production of DNA and a variety of proteins that support cellular function, but this

Large amounts of carbon are stored in soils and terrestrial subsurface sediments, particularly in oxygen-limited environments such as wetlands and

Microbial lipids are potential replacements for petroleum-based fuels and chemicals; however, their production often falls short of theoretical

In conventional semiconductor-based energy harvesting of photons from the sun, excess photon energy above the semiconductor bandgap is wasted.

Three-dimensional (3-D) organic–inorganic perovskites have emerged as one of the most promising thin-film solar cell materials owing to a

The tokamak is an efficient design for confining superheated plasmas with magnetic fields because much of the magnetic field is produced by

To achieve its goal, ITER’s core ion temperature must be around 15 keV, or over 10 times hotter than in the core of the sun. At the same time
