Scientists in power plays: How substantive were scientists' narratives during the COVID‐19 pandemic?

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists who provide expert advice must engage with policy processes. Little is known about whether and how scientists deal with the political dynamics of policy processes that are inherent to policymaking. We study this question by building on the policy dimension concept within the Narrative Policy Framework.

Community Assembly Mechanism of Woody Plants at Different Successional Stages in Karst Areas Based on Functional Traits and Phylogeny

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study reveals a shift in woody plant community assembly from competitive exclusion in early succession to habitat filtering in later stages within karst areas. Environmental distance (80.54%) contributed significantly more than geographical distance (9.95%), providing strong quantitative evidence that niche processes, particularly habitat ...

Interfacial Engineering of Sodiophilic Metal Layers on Liquid Alloys for Dendrite‐Free Sodium Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium metal batteries hold significant promise for large‐scale energy storage due to the high theoretical capacity and abundant sodium sources, yet sodium‐metal anodes are hindered by dendrite propagation, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and poor cycling efficiency arising from uneven Na deposition and volume changes.
