Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Endophytic fungi from two isolated Bethencourtia palmensis populations: metabolomic and bioactivity fingerprinting

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.

Investigating the Environmental Impact of Additive Construction: A Systematic Analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment Studies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Rounded Monodisperse Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Small, EarlyView.
Nanodiamond (ND) shape control using rapid molten‐nitrate etching is studied as a scale‐up method for monodispersed rounded particles. Optimal etching condition (567°C for 6 min) yields NDs with atomically stepped surfaces and reduced sp2 content. Compared to angular control, rounded NDs exhibit an increased proportion of luminescent particles (66% vs.

Geometry‐Encoded Programmable Mechanics in Single‐Material Dual‐Phase Metamaterials

Small, EarlyView.
Inspired by the unique soft‐hard heterogeneous architecture of nacre, this study proposes a novel class of dual‐phase (DP) metamaterials. The DP metamaterials exhibit programmable nonlinear mechanical responses, tailored failure processes, and enhanced energy absorption by systematically varying the spatial coding patterns of soft‐hard unit cells ...

Multifunctional Cellulose Nanofiber Films With Embedded Highly Oriented MXene Flakes

Small, EarlyView.
The critical physical properties of freestanding micrometer‐thick films composed of layered cellulose nanofibers intercalated with Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CNF‐MXene) are investigated to find correlated co‐alignment of MXene flakes in the cellulose nanofiber matrix by vacuum‐assisted filtration.

Designing Butterfly‐Inspired Architecture in Self‐Assembled Hybrid Composites for Synergistic Structural Thermal Management

Small, EarlyView.
Pioneering a butterfly‐inspired design strategy, this work engineers hybrid composites with hierarchical fibrous architectures to achieve synergistic performance. By translating biological principles into scalable composite architectures, it introduces a novel pathway to lightweight, multifunctional, and cost‐effective materials.

Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.
