Halide Perovskite: A Rich Source of Thermal Insulator
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Halide perovskites exhibit ultralow thermal conductivity driven by intrinsic lattice softness and strong anharmonicity, falling below conventional defect‐engineering limits. Weak metavalent bonding, A‐site rattling, and dynamic octahedral tilting drive phonon scattering to the Ioffe–Regel limit, where wave‐like tunneling replaces particle‐like ...

Kin recognition in rattlesnakes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 Snakes are often regarded as the least social of all vertebrate groups, but this assumption stems from the fact that they are secretive and difficult to observe in nature, rather than direct evidence. Recent studies have revealed a surprising degree of social complexity in snakes.

Crystal Structure Prediction of Inorganic Materials: A Benchmark and Modern Evaluation
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Predicting a crystal’s structure from composition alone is a long‐standing challenge in materials discovery. The CSP180 benchmark of 180 inorganic crystals evaluates thirteen crystal structure prediction algorithms requiring no density functional theory (DFT) against DFT‐based baselines across twelve metrics.

Estimating actual versus detected road mortality rates for a northern viper
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018 Mitigation of adverse effects of roads on wildlife benefits from a fundamental understanding of the number of animals killed by traffic. Road surveys are a key part in quantifying this mortality; however, without accounting for scavenging and observer ...
