Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Methanol oxidation on Fe2O3catalysts and the effects of surface Mo [PDF]

, 2016
The adsorption of methanol on haematite has been investigated using temperature programmed methods, combined with in situ DRIFTS. Model catalysts based on this material have then been made with a shell–core configuration of molybdenum oxide monolayers on

A Programmable Semiconductor Containing Active Molecular Photoswitches Located in the Crystal's Volume Phase

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 28, 7 April 2026.
A novel approach for the design of functional semiconductors is presented, which utilizes the excellent optoelectronic properties of layered hybrid perovskites and the possibility to introduce a molecular photoswitch as the organic spacer. This concept is successfully demonstrated on a coumarin‐based system with the possibility to change the bandgap ...

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Versatile Gasochromic Hydrogen Detection via Supraparticle‐Based Applied Composite Materials

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.
Silica‐platinum‐resazurin supraparticles are embedded into PMMA to form suprabeads and thin films. The thereby obtained indicators change color from purple to pink to colorless on hydrogen exposure. The indicator systems are tested under various environmental conditions, and their performance is related to their microscopically visualized structure ...

Tuning Ce‐Zr‐Al Mixed Oxide Supports to Enhance Pt‐Pd Catalyst Performance for Low‐Temperature CO and C3H6 Oxidation in Diesel Emissions

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
ABSTRACT Diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) with low‐temperature activity are required for low‐temperature combustion diesel (LTC‐D) engine technologies to meet emission regulations. To probe the impact of oxygen availability on activity, bimetallic Pt‐Pd catalysts supported on Ce‐Zr‐Al mixed oxides with varying Ce/Zr/Al contents were systematically ...
