Superhydrides—materials capable of storing much more hydrogen than conventional hydrides—offer exciting possibilities for technologies like hydrogen storage, maglev transportation, and quantum computing. Despite their potential, synthesizing these compounds has proven extremely difficult, requiring pressures of tens of gigapascals. This has made the reactions difficult to control...

A recent study has identified idle farmland as a key contributor to the increasing number of dust events in California, with serious implications for public health, agriculture, and climate. The research, published in Communications Earth & Environment by UC Merced professors Adeyemi Adebiyi and John Abatzoglou, reveals that over 1 million acres of farmland are left fallow on average each...
