  1. In 2023, a record-setting marine heat wave triggered the ninth mass coral bleaching event on Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR). We examined spatial patterns of heat exposure along the ~560-kilometer length of FCR and the mortality of two ecologically important, critically endangered reef-building corals. Sea surface temperatures were ≥31°C for an average of 40.7 days, leading to heat exposures 2.2- to fourfold higher than all prior years on record. In the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, 97.8 to 100% of theAcropora palmataandAcropora cervicorniscolonies died. Mortality was lower offshore southeast Florida (37.9%), reflecting cooler temperatures in this region. Since the late 1970s, multiple stressors had already reduced the ecological relevance ofAcroporain Florida, but the 2023 heat wave marks their functional extinction from FCR.

  2. A new electroanalytical design based on asymmetric interdigitated arrays (IDA) is presented and the effects of asymmetry on the device performance are characterized electrochemically. Varying the collector and generator band widths independently of each other tunes the collection efficiency and redox cycling-induced feedback. These arrays are able to provide low feedback (<10%) while maintaining moderate collection efficiency (25%–40%). Behavior is evaluated experimentally and using a numerical model. The application of the device to detect soluble electrolyte degradation products in nonaqueous lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery electrolytes is demonstrated.
