Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

A framework for integrating resilience indicators into risk assessments

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human pressures, yet ecosystem risk assessments predominantly emphasize exposure to stressors while overlooking intrinsic ecosystem resilience—the capacity to absorb and recover from disturbances.

Vocabulary Strategy Instruction in the Argentine EFL Context: Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on vocabulary strategy instruction (VSI), little has been known about teachers’ perspectives on how it is understood and implemented in practice. This study investigated Argentinian EFL teachers’ priorities in vocabulary instruction, their perceived knowledge of learner strategies for spoken vocabulary, and factors ...

Engineering 1T‐MoS2‐Integrated Bimetallic Sulfide Heterostructure on Nickel Foam for Enhanced Alkaline Water/Seawater Splitting

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The heterostructured 1T‐MoS2‐based bimetallic sulfides are promising bifunctional electrocatalysts for alkaline overall water splitting. However, the controllable synthesis of these catalysts is hindered by the ready conversion of Mo species to 2H‐MoS2 and the tedious heterostructure engineering during sulfidation.

Integrated Implantation of an Ultrasound‐Actuated BiFeO3 Piezoelectric Film and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Sheet for Spatially and Stage‐Programmed Osteoarthritis Repair

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) therapy remains constrained by the coexistence of irreversible cartilage loss and a persistently hostile joint microenvironment characterized by oxidative stress, synovial inflammation, and impaired tissue‐regenerative signaling.

All‐van der Waals‐Integrated Memristors Based on Atomically Thin MoS2‐xOx Film for LIF Neurons and Nociceptive Receptors

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Atomically thin two‐dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as ideal candidates for realizing high‐density, fast switching, and energy‐efficient memristors. However, ultrathin memristive interlayers, particularly at the atom scale, typically suffer from poor endurance and significant variations.

Grain Boundary Density Governs the Discharge Behavior of Mg Anodes in Biodegradable Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys have entered clinical use, yet their development as self‐powered absorbable batteries is hindered by poor anode performance, including high self‐corrosion, passivation, and nonuniform dissolution. The role of grain boundary density in governing discharge behavior remains unclear.

Phosphate‐Mediated FeNi Cocatalyst Bonding on BiVO4 Photoanodes for Synergistic Interfacial Charge Separation and Surface Water Oxidation

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has emerged as a promising photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, but its efficiency is severely limited by rapid charge recombination and sluggish water oxidation kinetics. Herein, we demonstrated that depositing an amorphous nickel‐iron phosphate (NiFePOx) layer on BiVO4 could promote the surface ...

Advanced Characterization Techniques for Understanding Failure Mechanisms and Guiding Materials Design in Garnet‐Type Solid‐State Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Garnet‐type solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) are widely regarded as key materials for high‐energy lithium‐ion solid‐state batteries (LSSBs), owing to their compatibility with lithium metal anodes and high‐voltage cathodes. However, their practical application is limited by multiscale degradation processes, including interfacial instability ...

“It Is More Than Just Food, We Need To Be Human Beings Together”: Service Provider and Leader Perspectives on Charitable Food Services for Persons Experiencing Homelessness

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This critical ethnographic study examined the perspectives of service providers and organizational leaders working within charitable food services for people experiencing homelessness in two Canadian cities. Informed by Paulo Freire's writings and a human rights‐based approach, we explored how power is enacted through everyday practices and ...
