#ICYMI: A new Perspective addresses pitfalls in the discovery process for high-performance p-type transparent conductors — promising materials for future #photovoltaics — and shares insights to help researchers get from “design to device.” 🔗 go.aps.org/4dn1DRG

If you're attending #ACSFall2024 today, stop by our sponsored session in room 507 at 4 p.m. ET for a discussion on the latest advancements in #energy storage. We hope to see you there!

The full report assesses the current state of monitoring U.S. #MethaneEmissions from oil and gas operations, identifies current technological and policy gaps, and makes recommendations for the federal government. Read it now: go.aps.org/4fPcxBt.T

#ICYMI: scientists introduce a control scheme that could help stabilize power grids that incorporate more inertialess #RenewableEnergy sources — showing how an adaptive inertia control scheme may outperform stability measures used in today’s grids. 🔗 go.aps.org/3yn3fvQ

Have you met our lead editor? David Scanlon is a chemist interested in predicting the properties of new materials using computational science. @scanlond81is also the chair of computational chemistry and a professor at Uni of Birmingham. 🧪

Starting today. 👇

Meet Jacilynn (Brant) Otero, our managing editor. 👋 Jaci (Brant) Otero has a background in solid-state #chemistry with a focus on the design and synthesis of functional materials, like solid-state electrolytes and metal-organic frameworks.

Say hello to Margaret Hudson, one of our associate editors! 👋 Maggie Hudson has a background in materials chemistry, specifically the synthesis, photophysics, and optoelectronic device applications of semiconductor nanomaterials. 🧪 💡

The activation energy of ionic transport changes with composition in electrode composites for #SolidStateBatteries. The new study supports that electrolyte optimization is necessary for #batteries to work at colder temperatures. 🔗 go.aps.org/3X4XNpv

For #OpenScienceWeek, let’s talk data availability. Our refreshed policy means that all articles in Physical Review D and PRX Energy will now have a statement explaining where data can be accessed. Expect the same for all of our journals by the end of the year. 🔗
