Elastic Nickel Porous Transport Layers for Enhanced Catalyst Layer Utilization of Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
A multifunctional material combining flow field and porous transport layer functions is presented for AEM water electrolysis. The elastic knitted wire mesh interlayer enhances compression distribution, improves catalyst–membrane contact and prevents catalyst layer cracking during operation. The concept supports improved performance and enables scalable,

Design and Manufacturing of Multifunctional Hydroxyapatite‐Coated Ti6Al4V Implants With Cissus quadrangularis

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a novel approach to enhance the early‐stage osseointegration of orthopedic implants through surface engineering. Lithium (Li), strontium (Sr), and silver (Ag)‐doped hydroxyapatite (HA) were coated on Ti6Al4V substrates using RF induction based plasma spray coating and loaded with polydopamine (PD) and Cissus quadrangularis ...

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Carbonate‐ Versus Hydroxide‐Based Precursor for the Synthesis of Li/Mn Rich Cathodes: Exploring Differences in Discharge Capacities and Cycle Life

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
The synthesis of Li/Mn‐rich cathodes via hydroxide‐based precursor can be beneficial in terms of, for example, lower surface area. The apparently disadvantageous lower lithiation amount (discharge capacity) is shown to be beneficial for cycle life, as the higher redox oxidation number in the discharged state suggests a lower amount of detrimental Mn3+.

Optimisation of Drop‐Sheet Sampling in Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) Orchards: An Optimised Method for Monitoring Insect Ecology

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding orchard arthropod populations is a critical element of making strategic decisions regarding pest management. Therefore, it is paramount for farmers and crop consultants to use appropriate survey methods that provide a representative sample of orchard insect ecology. Currently, macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) industry arthropod

Rapid dehydration drives a nondiffusional drop in C3 photosynthesis that aligns with phosphate limitation

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1127-1142, August 2026.
Schematic representation of the causal sequence through which rapid water loss imposes diffusive and nondiffusive restrictions on carbon assimilation. Summary Drought is an abnormally prolonged water deficit posing major challenges to plants. Stomatal closure has long been considered the primary factor limiting photosynthesis during the early stages of
