Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The governance of chemicals and nanomaterials presents a critical challenge, as significant uncertainties regarding safety and sustainability match their innovation potential. This creates a “knowledge‐to‐action” gap, hindering the practical implementation of safety and sustainability by design (SSbD) principles.

Consumer Acceptance of Conversational Bots: Systematic Literature Review and Meta‐Analysis
Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As consumers increasingly rely on conversational bots for daily tasks, evidence surrounding motivations for acceptance remains scattered. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted on 64 journal articles published between 2008 and 2024, of which 48 provided sufficient quantitative data for inclusion in a meta‐analysis.

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.The linear and nonlinear (chir)optical properties of four oligoamide foldamers with different donor groups are studied by means of time‐dependent density functional theory calculations. It is shown that stronger donors yield larger hyperpolarizabilities due to low‐lying charge–transfer states. The agreement with the experiments concerning the key bands

Where Tech Meets the SDGs: A Supply‐Chain Process Map for Sustainability Management
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how advanced technologies support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within supply chain management (SCM) through a structured analysis of 4448 sustainable practices. By integrating perspectives from sustainability‐oriented innovation (SOI) and contingent dynamic capabilities, the research conceptualizes technology ...

Droplet friction on superhydrophobic surfaces
Droplet, EarlyView.By developing an experimental setup that simultaneously measures the friction force, macroscopic shape profile, and the macro‐ and microscopic contact line dynamics of a laterally sliding droplet, this study establishes an analytical model that predicts droplet friction on pillared superhydrophobic surfaces relying only on surface geometrical ...
