Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Giant Magnetostriction in Ferrimagnetic SmFe5As3

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
SmFe5As3 is a newly discovered ferrimagnetic material that displays peculiar volumetric effects as a function of temperature. As a result of two magnetic sublattices—one with d$d$‐electrons of Fe and another with f$f$‐electrons of Sm—single crystals of SmFe5As3 show negative (blue), positive (pink), and zero (beige) thermal expansion along the [010 ...

Toroidal‐Dipole‐Driven Polarization‐Selective Quasi‐BICs Enabling Wide‐Angle Near‐Field Image Display in Dielectric Metasurfaces

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents toroidal‐dipole (TD)‐driven polarisation‐selective quasi‐bound states in the continuum (quasi‐BICs) in all‐dielectric metasurfaces, enabling transverse magnetic (TM)‐selective excitation with ultrahigh quality factors and wide‐angle‐stable polarisation‐dependent near‐field imaging.

Toward Solution‐Time Advantage With Error‐Mitigated Quantum Annealing for Combinatorial Optimization

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel error mitigation technique to address the qubit errors that occur when solving combinatorial optimization problems with quantum annealing. The approach significantly speeds up the computation to reach the global optimum solution for a correlated 3D image segmentation model for material microstructures, demonstrating a ...

Too Hot to Profit? Climatic Stress and Farm‐Level Performance in Italian Viticulture

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the economic impact of long‐run climatic conditions on Italian wine farms by applying a Ricardian framework to 1431 firms from the 2022 RICA‐FADN survey. We combine farm‐level revenues with viticulture‐specific agroclimatic indicators to assess how climate stress shapes profitability across 77 Italian NUTS3 provinces ...

Internalization of Management Systems and Eco‐Product Innovation: The More the Better?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental challenges demand urgent and strategic responses from firms. Eco‐product innovation (EPI) is a key approach to reducing environmental impact while preserving competitiveness. This research analyses the relationship between EPI and the internalization of management system (MS) certifications, focusing on ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ...

Does Managerial Ability Improve Environmental Performance and Overall ESG Ratings? The Impact of the European Sustainability Reporting Mandate

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Engineering Lipid Nanoparticles for Precision RNA Delivery: Design Principles, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Prospects

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the most clinically advanced platform for RNA delivery and have enabled major breakthroughs in vaccines and gene therapies. However, their broader application is still limited by inefficient extrahepatic delivery, immunogenicity, and insufficient control over tissue‐ and cell‐specific targeting. This review
