Planting the seeds of recovery in the aftermath of the Australia bushfires

Australia’s annual dry seasons are known for droughts and wildfires, but the dry season of 2019--2020 was remarkable due to the sheer extent of the devastation. By some estimates, more than 10 million hectares (38,600 square miles, an area slightly larger than the U.S. state of Indiana) burned, killing several million animals (including many of the country’s koalas) and more than 30 people. On a positive note, burned areas will recover from this disturbance, and tree planting and other forms of ecological restoration can help to hasten this process.

Systematic over-estimation of lattice thermal conductivity in materials with electrically-resistive grain boundaries

DOI: 10.1039/C9EE03921J, Paper
Jimmy Jiahong Kuo, Max Wood, Tyler J. Slade, Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, G. Jeffrey Snyder
The inverse trend between carrier mobility and lattice thermal conductivity is found to be an artifact of grain boundary electrical resistance. A two-phase transport model is required to properly account for the effect.
