Environmental Stressors Influence Spatial Complexity in a Fluvial Macrophyte meadow

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research investigates the nonlinear relationships between environmental stressors and the fine‐scale spatial complexity of a fluvial macrophytes meadow. The use of multivariate spatial analysis allowed us to identify two major environmental gradients (nutrients and light) and two major complexity gradients (related to abundance and fragmentation).

A Methodological Pathway for Supporting the Transition From Theory to Practice in Action‐Oriented Research for Transformative Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, action‐oriented research has gained prominence in co‐producing actionable knowledge to drive transformative change toward sustainability. However, further methodological developments are needed to support the transition to the application phase of such knowledge.

Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization

Small, EarlyView.
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,

Emerging Aluminum‐Ion Capacitors and Lessons from Battery Chemistry

Small, EarlyView.
Al‐ion energy storage is gaining momentum as demand grows for safer, lower‐cost, and more sustainable alternatives to Li‐based technologies. Aluminum's abundance, recyclability, and trivalent charge offer high charge capacity and scalable device potential.

Unraveling Pathway Complexity in Photoreversible Supramolecular Hydrogels: Real‐Time Visualization and Sub‐Micrometric Photopatterning

Small, EarlyView.
This research demonstrates real‐time visualization of supramolecular sol‐gel transitions using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM). By leveraging 5D visualization, integrating 3D space, time, and polarity resolution, we achieved maskless sub‐micrometric photopatterning within the gel matrix.

Fractionation‐Free Protein Corona Quantification Through Synchrotron‐Based Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A fractionation‐free SAXS approach quantifies protein corona formation on silica nanoparticles under native conditions. By deconvoluting scattering from free and bound proteins, adsorbed mass is directly determined in simple and complex media. The method resolves adsorption regimes and thermodynamics, establishing non‐invasive, in situ characterization

Recursive Grid Indexing for Fast Non‐Uniform Quantization Without Binary Search

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To present Recursive Grid Indexing (RGI), a practical software technique for accelerating non‐uniform quantization and predecessor queries without relying on binary search at any stage. Design/Methodology/Approach RGI replaces conventional logarithmic binary search with a recursive, low‐branching grid structure. The method constructs a

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Conceptual colour: race, economic knowledge, and the anthropology of financialization De la couleur comme concept : race, connaissances économiques et anthropologie de la financiarisation

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Economic anthropologists now carry out fieldwork in settings for which the ethnographic method was never designed, amongst powerful financial actors who are notoriously difficult to access, and in contexts which transcend geographical boundaries. This has engendered a re‐orientation of anthropology, to consider not only the economic lives of people but
