From hypothesis testing toward inference to the best explanation: A PEEBI testimonial structure for abductive studies in strategy

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Though scholars employ abduction, there is no agreed‐upon structure to reporting their findings. Moreover, the traditional hypo‐deductive reasoning structure does not align with the epistemology of abduction. We propose an abductive testimonial structure, termed PEEBI, which consists of five sections in which the authors take ...

Anomalous Enhancement in MXene‐Based Electrochemical Actuators: Pseudo‐Capacitance‐Induced Multi‐Charge Accumulation in Confined Space

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 61, 3 November 2026.
We elucidate the electrochemical actuation mechanism of 2D material‐based electrodes within a MXene‐centered framework, linking atomic‐scale surface chemistry to macroscopic performance (see schematic). Mechanistically, the reduction of Ti─O─Ti sites in H2SO4 triggers the accumulation of hydrated ions at confined active sites, resulting in anomalous ...
