Erupting volcano painting
// Journal Covers
One contributory factor to the “warming hiatus” is an increase in volcanically induced cooling over the early 21st century. Here a research team identifies the signals of late 20th and early 21st century volcanic activity in multiple observed climate variables.
Electron microscope images
// Journal Covers
Pulsed electron sources with high instantaneous current have successfully shortened exposure times (thus increasing the temporal resolution) by about six orders of magnitude over conventional sources while providing the necessary signal-to-noise ratio for dynamic imaging.
graphene macro-assembly
// Journal Covers
The research team demonstrates that the energy storage capacity of graphene macro-assemblies can be increased nearly 3-fold (up to 23 W h kg−1) by facile, non-covalent surface modification with anthraquinone (AQ).
Nanoporous metal array
// Journal Covers
A low‐cost, high‐throughput, lift‐off‐free nanolithographic method is developed for creating hexagonal arrays of sub‐30‐nm‐sized pores on a metal film, achieving uniform coverage over an entire wafer of 10 cm in diameter.
3D printed elastomeric  material
// Journal Covers
Three‐dimensional printing of viscoelastic inks to create porous, elastomeric architectures with mechanical properties governed by the ordered arrangement of their sub‐millimeter struts is reported.
nanotubular bulk material
// Journal Covers
The synthesis of ultralow‐density (>5 mg/cm3) bulk materials with interconnected nanotubular morphology and deterministic, fully tunable feature size, composition, and density is presented.
Interior of National Ignition Facility
// Journal Covers
We describe ramp-compression measurements for diamond, achieving 3.7-fold compression at a peak pressure of 5 terapascals (equivalent to 50 million atmospheres).
Model of selective laser melt
// Journal Covers
The present work describes continuum modeling of selective laser melting as envisioned for eventual support of part-scale modeling of this fabrication process to determine end-state information such as residual stresses and distortion.
Nanographene structure
// Journal Covers
The electronic transport in centimeter‐sized three‐dimensional bulk nanographene monoliths can be dynamically controlled via electrochemically induced surface charge density.
Ocean, earth, and molecule
// Journal Covers
The kinetics of carbonate exchange on the [NpO2(CO3)3]4− complex, shown here in ball-and-stick form, were measured as a function of solution pH.
