Bifunctional Electrocatalysts in Rechargeable Lithium‐Gas Batteries: Material Evolution and Mechanistic Insights from Metal‐Free Carbons to Carbon‐Supported Single‐Atom Sites

Small, EarlyView.
This review charts the material evolution of bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable lithium‐gas batteries. It highlights the journey from heteroatom‐doped, metal‐free carbon architectures to precision‐engineered carbon‐supported single‐atom sites. The discussion focuses on mechanistic insights into how these catalysts govern reversible O2, CO2,

Straintronics and Twistronics in 2D Materials: Structural Control and Predictive Design

Small, EarlyView.
Strain and twist engineering in 2D materials is established as a programmable design parameter responsible for reconstructing lattices, tuning interlayer coupling, and developing new quantum functionalities. Through the integration of advanced fabrication techniques, multiscale characterization, computational modeling, and machine learning, this review

Investigation of Serrated Flow in Intercritically Annealed Medium Manganese Steel by In Situ Synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction

steel research international, EarlyView.
Serrations and stepwise austenite phase transformation were observed in cold‐rolled and annealed medium manganese steels. By in situ XRD experiments, these two phenomena were studied simultaneously. The results show that DSA leads to the creation of PLC bands and load drops in the specimen.

Unusual vertical oscillations of a radiosonde

Weather, EarlyView.
In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.

The Development of Indo‐Iranian Voiced Fricatives

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 97-115, March 2025.
Abstract The development of voiced sibilants is a long‐standing puzzle in Indo‐Iranian historical phonology. In Vedic, all voiced sibilants are lost from the system, but the details of this loss are complex and subject to debate. The most intriguing development concerns the word‐final ‐aḥ to ‐o in sandhi.

Who Is a Patriotic Man? Rethinking Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Iran

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the analytical viability of the concept of “hegemonic masculinity” in the historical study of masculinities in early‐twentieth‐century Iran (c.1890–1941). It argues that a radical problematizing of the concepts of hegemony, class, “the West,” and patriotism helps us move beyond the binaries of Western‐Iranian and modern ...

Hunting in the Ghaznavid State: Courtly Culture, Military Practices and Political Power

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Hunting occupied an important place in the royal court culture of the Ghaznavid state (963–1186 CE). Ghaznavid hunting culture developed through the interaction of Turkic‐Islamic political traditions, Persianate models of kingship and local ecological settings. Rather than constituting a fully formalized institution, Ghaznavid hunting practice

Contrasting Responses of Rodents With Different Habitat Associations to Rapid Urbanization in a Chinese Megacity

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rapid urbanization reshaped rodent populations, morphology, and gut microbiota along an urban–rural gradient. The synanthropic rat (Rattus norvegicus) increased in abundance toward the urban core and exhibited reduced ear and tail length, whereas the farmland mouse (Apodemus agrarius) and woodland rat (Niviventer confucianus) declined.

Managing Procurement Auction Failure: Bid Requirements or Reserve Prices?

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines bid requirements, where the government may cancel a procurement contract unless two or more bids are received. Using a first‐price auction model with endogenous entry, we compare the bid requirement and reserve price mechanisms in terms of auction failure and procurement costs.

Global Policy Entrepreneurs as Agenda‐Keepers: The UN Secretary‐General's Climate Action During the COVID‐19 Crisis

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crises tend to redirect political attention toward urgent relief efforts, often sidelining long‐term policy priorities. This article examines the role of agenda‐keepers—policy entrepreneurs who work to preserve attention to existing issues when crises threaten to displace them.
