Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub
Oikos, EarlyView.Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

High temperature tension-compression fatigue behavior of a tungsten copper composite [PDF]
The high temperature fatigue of a (O)12 tungsten fiber reinforced copper matrix composite was investigated. Specimens having fiber volume percentages of 10 and 36 were fatigued under fully-reversed, strain-controlled conditions at both 260 and 560 C. The

Rheology–Performance Framework for PA6/GO Nanocomposites via a Hybrid Processing Route
Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Hybrid PA6/GO nanocomposites with tuned melt rheology and improved thermal–mechanical performance. ABSTRACT Balancing melt processability with stiffness and heat resistance remains a central challenge for PA6 nanocomposites. Here, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by a modified Hummers method and incorporated into PA6 via a hybrid route (solution ...

A greater cavitation resistance, a greater cellular dehydration resistance?
Hydraulic failure, characterized as tree's inability to transport water to its living cells, has been identified as the key factor triggering a cascade of physiological processes leading to increased cell mortality. As leaves are the headquarters of photosynthetic processes and gas exchanges, maintaining them alive seems crucial for trees growth and ...

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Small, EarlyView.Platinum nanoparticles are immobilized on hollow carbon spherogels using supercritical deposition, enabling precise control over nanoparticle size, loading, and spatial distribution. Incorporation of an internal TiO2 sublayer in the hollow sphere support induces enhanced metal–support interactions, markedly improving hydrogen evolution activity and ...
