Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4166-4177, July 2026.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Enhancement of Interfacial Strength and Corrosion Resistance of Adhesives via Synergistic Effect of Metallic Surface Treatment and α‐ZrP Nanosheets

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue S2, Page S96-S119, 20 June 2026.
Synergistic enhancement of interfacial strength through α‐ZrP nanosheet reinforcement of polyurethane adhesive and aluminium anodization. ABSTRACT Polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical performance and adhesive bonding are crucial for aerospace and automotive applications. This study investigates the reinforcing effect of α‐zirconium

Removing Oxide Layers and Retaining Oxide‐Free Steel Surfaces by Polishing in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
In this study, the efficacy of wet mechanical polishing under an oxygen‐free atmosphere for deoxidation and the retention of an oxide‐free steel surface are elucidated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methodology proved successful; however, the results were highly dependent on the preparation of the solvents used to clean the samples after ...

Nonthermal Plasma Reduction of Nickel Oxide Layers by Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge in Argon/Hydrogen

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
This work explores the reduction of nickel oxide layers using dielectric barrier discharge plasma in an argon–hydrogen atmosphere. The results reveal a strong temperature dependence, enabling complete reduction of thick oxide layers at 200°C within seconds.

A Proof of Principle for the Phase‐Dependent Electrocatalytic Activity of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

open access: yesChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
We compare martensitic (Ni50Ti50) and austenitic (Ni51.2Ti48.8) NiTi shape memory alloys at room temperature as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) anodes, demonstrating that phase‐dependent microstructure governs electronic conductivity, surface roughness, and wettability.
