Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.Grassland recovery following nutrient cessation is asymmetric and strongly shaped by nutrient enrichment history. Higher nutrient addition rates and longer enrichment duration caused larger departures from control conditions, with biomass recovering more rapidly than species richness over decadal timescales.

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The development of lightweight, high‐attenuation, and broadband carbon‐based electromagnetic wave absorbers is hindered by the intrinsic trade‐off between impedance matching and dielectric dissipation. Herein, we report a facile and scalable synthesis of N‐doped lignin‐derived interconnected porous carbon (Nx‐LIPC) via hydrogen‐bond self ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Dielectric polymers commonly suffer from severe performance degradation above 150°C, hindering advanced power systems. Herein, we demonstrate a polyetherimide (PEI) nanocomposite that overcomes this by mimicking the gradient architecture of nacre and bamboo, incorporating a continuous vertical gradient of fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The development of structurally stable anodes with high capacities and long cycle lives is essential for the development of potassium–ion batteries. Conversion‐type anodes have attracted considerable attention in potassium–ion batteries (PIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT The dual challenges of environmental sustainability and rising energy needs underscore the necessity for high‐energy‐density batteries, making lithium–sulfur (LSB) systems with their high theoretical capacity highly attractive. However, the polysulfide shuttle, coupled with inherent kinetic limitations in the sulfur reduction reaction ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Driven by global energy transition and sustainability, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as key alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries for low‐to‐medium energy storage, because of abundant sodium resources and low cost. However, their commercialization is hindered by the lack of anodes with high capacity, fast kinetics, and long‐term ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a chronic infectious oral disease triggered by periodontopathogenic bacteria, resulting in the progressive inflammation and destruction of the tissues surrounding teeth. To achieve reprogramming of the infectious microenvironment for periodontitis therapy, a nanoformulation was proposed by loading polydopamine (PDA) with ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Platinum (Pt)‐based catalysts are crucial for the commercialization of hydrogen/metal air batteries, but they suffer from Pt scarcity, high cost, and nanoparticle dissolution/agglomeration, mainly leading to performance degradation. We address this by synthesizing a PtFe alloy catalyst (PtFe–PA–NC) via a phytic acid (PA) assisted pyrolysis ...
