Green hydrogen with seven times less iridium
Piechulla, Blommestein, van Gerven, Pelzer et al. · arXiv:2610.15798 — See how growing a rare metal one tiny layer at a time lets a machine that makes clean hydrogen from water work almost as well while using seven times less of that metal.

Call the repair crews early, or wait for a better forecast?
Golkar, de Oliveira & Alipour · arXiv:2610.20918 — See when a power company should call in extra repair crews before a big storm, since asking early means a fuzzier guess but waiting means fewer crews are left.

Forecasting carbon-risk hotspots ahead of the extreme 2026 El Niño
Du, Jiang, Ciais, Friedlingstein, Sitch, O'Sullivan et al. · arXiv:2610.16714 — Slide between calm and severe El Niño outcomes to see where forests may soak up less carbon and where peatlands face a much higher fire risk.
