‘We Can Win this Fight Together’: Memory and Cross‐Occupational Coordination
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract While scholars have studied coordination across occupational lines, they have yet to theorize how the memories held by those involved in such coordination might influence it. In this paper, we frame occupational groups as mnemonic communities – collectives for whom a shared understanding of the past constitutes their character – to explore the

Quasi‐Antipolar Nanoclusters Driven Superior Energy Storage in High‐Entropy Relaxor Ferroelectrics
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.Quasi‐antipolar nanoclusters are engineered in lead‐free NaNbO3‐based high‐entropy relaxors that weaken polar nanoregion coupling and induce distinct ferroelectric transition under high fields to enable desirable polarization response. This breakthrough system achieves ultrahigh recoverable‐energy‐density (≈18.3 J cm−3), efficiency (≈91.5%), and ...
