From Prebiotic Catalysts to Modern Applications: How Early Catalysts Inspire Today's Innovations

open access: yesIsrael Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
Simple catalytic systems that may have operated under prebiotic conditions offer useful molecular principles for the design of modern functional materials. By examining how amino acids, peptide assemblies, and metal complexes achieve catalysis through simple chemical features, this review highlights how prebiotic chemistry can inspire new strategies ...

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 702-715, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Recovering Critical Elements From Wastewater for Battery Materials: A Review

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Driven by global carbon neutrality goals, the transition toward a circular economy and sustainable resource management has become increasingly imperative. Given the indispensable role of battery technologies in modern energy storage systems, strategic elements such as lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni)—identified by the European ...

Breaking Shuttle‐Induced Kinetics Limitations in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries: Confined FeS2 Nanocatalyst With Optimized d‐Band Center

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The commercialization of lithium‐sulfur batteries (LSBs) faces dual challenges of sluggish sulfur redox kinetics and lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttling. Herein, we demonstrate a synergistic strategy combining multidimensional structural confinement with d‐band center modulation to simultaneously suppress LiPSs diffusion and catalyze ...

Broadband complex permittivity spectroscopy for particulate media: Soil characterization in high water content

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Broadband complex permittivity spectroscopy enables characterization of the frequency‐dependent electrical behavior of wet particulate media. Conventional field methods, including microwave‐based techniques and time‐domain reflectometry (TDR), rely on apparent permittivity over limited or implicit frequency ranges, restricting their ability to
