The Dejudicialization of the German Federal Bureaucracy: An Organizational Perspective on Policy‐Related Knowledge

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using data from a long‐term survey of senior civil servants (1970–2021), this study investigates the declining share of jurists in federal ministerial departments in Germany. The mechanisms driving this trend and its subsequent effects are discussed from an organizational perspective, highlighting the influence of environmental pressure and ...

Recent Advances in Piezocatalysis and Piezo‐Photocatalysis in Energy and Environment: Materials, Design, and Applications

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic technology utilizes mechanical strain or stress‐induced piezoelectric phenomena to produce robust internal electric fields, markedly improving the separation efficiency of e−‐h+ pairs. This method has emerged as a focal point in catalysis by removing reliance on conventional light or electrical energy via its mechanical‐to ...
