Wood Pellet Mills Are Prone to Catching Fire. Why Build Them in California?
Facilities that make wood pellets have a track record of catching alight. Yet there are plans to build several near Yosemite’s tinderbox forests.

You know, when you’re down about the state of the world, something comes along and gives you a tiny bit of hope. @… gave the MIT commencement address and if just a dozen of these kids take his advice, the world will be a tiny bit better. Thanks, Hank!

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of SrTiO$_3$ with Oxygen Vacancies using Neural Network Potentials
A precise analysis of point defects in solids requires accurate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of large-scale systems. However, ab initio MD simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) incur high computational cost, while classical MD simulations lack accuracy. We perform MD simulations using a neural network potential (NNP) model (NNP-MD) to predict the physical quantities of both pristine SrTiO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$ in the presence of oxygen vacancies (V$_{\text{O}}$). To verify the…

Pressure-induced structural disordering and anomalous pressure-volume behaviour in high-entropy zirconates
The ambient-temperature high-pressure behaviour of (La0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2Gd0.2Yb0.2)2Zr2O7 zirconate (HEZ) nanopowders with three different average particle sizes (~25nm, ~45 nm and ~ 68nm) were studied using synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) measurements up to ~30 GPa. Smaller particle-size HEZ nanopowder (~25 nm), synthesized at the lower sintering temperature, exhibits pure defect-fluorite (DF) phase, whereas larger particle-size HEZ nanopowders (~45nm and ~68nm), synthesized at the higher si…
