Coseismic dislocation creep and recrystallization in a shallow carbonate-hosted active fault

Identifying coseismic deformation along shallow faults is crucial for assessing seismic hazards associated with surface rupture and ground shaking, yet unequivocal evidence of seismic slip in carbonate-hosted faults remains uncertain. Active normal faults on Miyako Island in the...

High-Spatial-ResolutionNear-Infrared ThermographyUsing an Uncooled Silicon-Based Camera

Abstract The demand for noncontact temperature measurements is growing as the microelectronic features to be probed become progressively smaller. However, traditional thermal imaging with infrared cameras is fundamentally constrained by the micron-long wavelength of thermal emiss...

Decoupling Electronic Activation and Pore Connectivity in Acidic Oxygen Reduction on Metal‐Free Biomass‐Derived Carbon Catalysts

Acidic oxygen reduction is often discussed as if catalytic activation and mass transport were inseparable. Here, biomass‐derived carbon was used to examine these contributions through oxidation, ammonia annealing, and KOH activation. The onset potential is associated primarily wi...
