Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Lithium‐rich manganese‐based cathodes (LRM) deliver high discharge capacities beyond 250 mAh g−1, but their practical deployment is restricted by irreversible oxygen redox, structural reconstruction, sluggish kinetics and unstable cathode‐electrolyte interfaces (CEI). Here, we develop a colloid‐assisted anchoring‐diffusion engineering strategy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Developing rapid, precise gas sensors for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) biomarker detection faces challenges due to suboptimal gas‐solid interactions. Herein, we report the rational synthesis of amino‐functionalized mesoporous SiO2 hollow nano‐doughnuts (MS‐2‐NH2‐2) via modification with (3‐aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (AAPTMS), which enables ...

Inverse Thermal Softening Behavior in a High‐Entropy Alloy Under Various Strain Rates
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Although face‐centered cubic high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) have received extensive attention and in‐depth research, most existing studies focus on single temperature or strain rate conditions, lacking systematic investigations into deformation mechanisms under extreme thermomechanical coupling environments.

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production from water and oxygen driven by solar energy represents a highly promising green and sustainable strategy. Herein, lignin‐derived carbon quantum dots (LCDs) were strategically introduced at the heterojunction between a Bi‐based metal organic framework (Bi‐MOF) and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS).

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...
