Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Iterative Self‐Branding: Chinese Language Teachers’ Understanding and Rationalization of Working on Online Tutoring Platforms

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Online tutoring platforms (OTPs) are an increasingly popular way for learners to study languages and for teachers to earn money. On many OTPs, individual teachers are responsible for attracting potential students via self‐branding. While scholarship has examined OTP teachers’ self‐branding practices and identified some of the most popular self‐

Focusing Events, Agenda Setting, and Narrative Numbing

Review of Policy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing events are important in understanding policy change, as demonstrated in Birkland's work on agenda setting, the multiple streams framework, and the narrative policy framework. These frameworks emphasize the role of focusing events in drawing public attention to broader issues.

Highly Stable Aqueous Zinc Anodes Enabled by Synergistic Modulation of Interface and Solvation Structures

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The stability of aqueous Zn2+ batteries is severely hindered by parasitic reactions at the Zn anode/electrolyte interface. Herein, itaconic acid (IA) is introduced as an effective electrolyte additive to achieve a highly stable zinc anode. Remarkably, IA concurrently modulates both the zinc anode/electrolyte interfacial structure and the Zn2 ...

Cell wall water shields stomata against falling leaf airspace humidity

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 861-872, April 2026.
Summary Plants lose water by transpiration through stomatal pores. However, it remains a matter of debate whether relative humidity (RH) in the substomatal cavity may fall below saturation and guard cells experience strong differences water potential driven by RH in the cavity.

Ionic‐Liquid‐Assisted Synthesis of NiTe/CoTe Heterostructure With Te Vacancies in N, P, and F Co‐Doped Hollow Carbon Nanorods for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution and High‐Performance Flexible Supercapacitors

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Low conductivity, slow ion‐diffusion, and limited reactive sites are common problems in electrocatalysts and electrode materials. In this study, a complex NiTe–CoTe heterojunction with abundant Te vacancies embedded in N, P, and F co‐doped hollow carbon nanorods (NiTe1−x–CoTe1−x/NPFC) was fabricated via a simple ionic liquid‐assisted ...

Electronegativity‐Driven Frontier Orbital Engineering in B‐Ti Diatomic Synergy Enables Selective Li2C2O4 Conversion in Li‐CO2 Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT As a promising alternative to sluggish Li2CO3‐based Li‐CO2 electrochemistry, Li2C2O4 offers a favorable 2e− discharge pathway, yet its selective formation and reversible decomposition remain debated. Herein, we propose a nonmetal‐metal synergistic catalyst—B‐Ti coregulated layered transition metal boride Ti18B18O9/graphene (B‐Ti/TiBOG)—to ...

Precise Tailoring of the Coordination Environment of Single‐Atom Cu(I) on Trifurcate AlL3 Supports for Click Chemistry

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Single‐atom catalysis hinges on fundamental challenges in precisely controlling metal‐support interactions and rationally regulating metal–adsorbate relationships. Herein, we report a universal strategy for constructing highly efficient and well‐defined Cu(I) single‐atom catalysts based on a trifurcate AlL3 molecular support.

Dual Synergistic Effects in a Ce‐Modified MnO2/MnO Heterostructure Enabling Outstanding Acidic Oxygen Evolution

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of highly efficient and stable nonprecious metal electrocatalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to advance proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. In this work, a dual synergistic strategy was proposed by constructing a Ce‐modified MnO2/MnO heterostructure.

Boosting Piezoelectric Voltage Constant in 3D‐Interconnected PZNNT Porous Piezoceramics via Pore Architecture Engineering

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In conventional piezoceramics, the coordinated change between the dielectric constant (εr) and the piezoelectric charge constant (d33) usually limits the piezoelectric voltage constant g33 (g33 = d33/εr), a critical figure of merit for piezoelectric sensors.
