A burst of new data has ignited a better understanding of how fireworks impact the environment. Three recent studies comb through pyrotechnics' fallout, analyzing litter, particulate matter, and airborne compounds. These papers, published in ACS journals, provide insights into what happens after the sparkles fade and explain the potential impacts on human health and the environment.

The focus of this Special Issue is recent advances in the development of hydrogen emission quantification technologies to monitor the release and behavior of hydrogen gas into the environment. Submit your manuscript by May 17, 2027.

The urgent need for environmentally responsible materials is driving rapid advances in polymer science. ACS Macro Letters seeks urgent research that highlights innovative macromolecular design, synthesis, and characterization strategies for bio-based, recyclable, and circular polymers. We are particularly interested in concise, high-impact studiesthat demonstrate clear advances in structure–property relationships, sustainability metrics, or end-of-life solutions.

Are your titration results keeping up with the demands of modern petrochemical operations? Many facilities still rely on manual or lab-only titration workflows, limiting data traceability, delaying response to process upsets, and increasing exposure to corrosion, compliance risk, and avoidable rework. Automated titration changes that, but the real opportunity is realized when validated lab methods are extended into the process.

Up to one in five people identify as neurodivergent and the true number in STEM is likely higher. Yet most workplace systems are still designed for a narrow range of cognitive styles, quietly increasing friction, miscommunication, and turnover. Join Jane Singleton of Launchpad for Life as she discusses how to build a neuroinclusive workplace with strategic moves that unlock the full cognitive potential already sitting on your team.

Sleep deprivation can dull alertness, slow reaction time, and impair coordination. In some legal contexts, it already carries consequences. Under New Jersey’s Maggie’s Law, a driver who has been awake for more than 24 consecutive hours may face reckless-driving prosecution after a fatal crash. But unlike alcohol or drug use, there is still no simple clinical or forensic test that can determine whether someone is acutely sleep deprived.

The Special Issue in ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, “Radiopharmaceuticals,” aims to highlight cutting-edge advances in the design, synthesis, and translational application of radiolabeled agents for imaging and therapy across a range of diseases. Bringing together innovations in targeting strategies, radiotherapeutics, and multimodal imaging, the collection seeks to showcase how radiopharmaceuticals are transforming precision medicine at the interface of chemistry and biology.
