Critical Thickness and Its Role in the Spheroidization of Natural Flake Graphite

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.
Flakes of different thicknesses underwent distinct morphological changes (folding, bending, or fragmentation) under mechanical force, with only flakes above a critical thickness (∼2 μm) forming SG cores. ABSTRACT For decades, the industry has believed that spherical graphite (SG) yield correlates strongly with graphite flake size.

Age‐Dependent Plasticity in Hydraulics and Allocation of K, Si, and Starch in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens), a fast‐growing and potentially invasive species, exhibits culm‐age heterogeneity in structure and physiology; however, its water‐use strategies in relation to aging remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to examine age‐related variations in hydraulic performance, vessel integrity, and nutrient allocation in ...
