Earlier this month, the 9 th Circuit vacated the District Court judgment in a Clean Water Act citizens’ suit, because the basis for the judgment had been undermined by the Supreme Court decision in Maui. The decision is not a surprise, given that Maui explicitly rejected the prior 9 th Circuit test for when discharges to groundwater are subject to the NPDES permitting regime.

The development of next-generation solid-state ion conductors hinges on an understanding of microscopic diffusion mechanisms and the identification of roadblocks along macroscopic diffusion pathways (e.g. intragrain defects and grain boundaries). At the microscopic scale, ion conduction relies on transient short-range interactions between the diffusing and framework ions, and on the connectivity of the diffusion sites, hence, on the local str

I don’t remember the first time I heard the theory that the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid crashing into the Earth. It’s a dramatic story that gets told to wide-eyed children in classrooms and natural history museums at an earlier age than many can remember, so it feels more like absorbed knowledge. What is less commonly known, however, is that one of the originators of this proposal was Luis Walter Alvarez , who won the 1968 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on the hydrogen bubble c

This is a signal not only of the country’s unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels but also a failure to move away from gas in a way that other countries have done successfully. Now such a crisis has arisen again. It is prompted in large part by low gas storage capacity, the COVID-19 pandemic, a power plant coming offline and low wind speeds responsible for a downturn in wind power output.
