- Rapid warming in the Arctic has a huge impact on the global environment. Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is one of the least understood and uncertain warming agents due to a scarcity of observations. Here, we performed direct observations of atmospheric BrC and quantified its light-absorbing properties during a 2 month circum-Arctic cruise in summer of 2017. Through observation-constrained modeling, we show that BrC, mainly originated from biomass burning in the mid-to high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere (similar to 60%), can be a strong warming agent in the Arctic region, especially in the summer, with an average radiative forcing of-90 mW m(-2) (similar to 30% relative to black carbon). As climate change is projected to increase the frequency, intensity, and spread of wildfires, we expect BrC to play an increasing role in Arctic warming in the future.

- Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) have become a topic of intense interest in recent years because of their great potential in electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, and sensing applications. Most of the cMOFs reported hitherto are 2D structures, and 3D cMOFs remain rare. Herein we report FeTHQ a 3D cMOF synthesized from tetrahydroxy-1,4-quinone (THQ) and iron(II) sulfate salt. FeTHQexhibited a conductivity of 3.3 +/- 0.55 mS cm(-1) at 300 K, which is high for 3D cMOFs. The conductivity of FeTHQis valence-dependent. A higher conductivity was measured with the as-prepared FeTHQ than with the air-oxidized and sodium naphthalenide-reduced samples.

- Boron carbide (B4C) ceramics, with a relative density up to 98.4% and limited grain growth, were prepared at 1600-1800 degrees C by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The effects of powder milling medium (water and 2-propanol) on the powders' surface characteristics and TiB2 addition on the sintering densification were investigated. The ball milling processing of B4C powders in water can promote the sintering of B4C ceramics. A B2O3 layer on B4C particle surface is concluded to promote the densification of the B4C ceramics at an early sintering stage. This B2O3 layer, which normally inhibits the densification process at the final stage of the sintering, can be reduced through reaction with TiB2 particles, resulting in further densification of the B4C ceramics.
