Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

When biology meets materials science – Interdisciplinary applications of electron microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Research at the interface between biology and materials science creates challenges for electron microscopists. Everything from the sample preparation to the choice of imaging and analytical techniques and the interpretation of the resulting data refuses to sit comfortably within the domain of one discipline or the other.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Full‐pattern fitting of X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data using reference materials has attracted increasing attention as a high‐throughput method to determine the contents of long‐range‐ordered (i.e., crystalline) materials in soils. We hypothesized that this XRPD method can also be used to quantify short‐range‐ordered (SRO) materials with

Silicon Supplementation of Rescuegrass Reduces Herbivory by a Grasshopper
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The theory of coevolution suggests that herbivores play an important role in the diversification and composition of plant communities. A prevalent idea holds that grasses and grazing animals participated in an evolutionary “arms race” as grassland ...

Neogene Stable Carbon Isotopic Evolution of the Atmosphere and Low‐Latitude Surface Ocean
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract We reconstruct the stable carbon isotopic composition of Neogene surface ocean dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) and atmospheric CO2 (δ13CATM) to serve as input for carbon cycle modeling and proxy‐related studies. The largely observation‐based δ13CDIC reconstructions are inferred from Neogene planktic foraminifer carbonate δ13C records with
