The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1738-1754, August 2026.Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 14, 17 July 2026.In this research, this work addresses a critical challenge hindering the high‐power application of lithium/carbon fluoride (Li/CFX) batteries: the intrinsically low electronic conductivity caused by strong covalent C–F bonds. We developed a novel chemical modification strategy involving sodium hydroxide reduction and low‐temperature calcination (450°C).

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Background The left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is a critical organ‐at‐risk in thoracic radiotherapy. In thoracic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), sharp dose gradients and poor LAD contrast on 4DCT scans introduce uncertainty in LAD dose assessment.

Machine‐Learning Microfluidic Minute‐Scale Microorganism Metrics Monitoring(M6)
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.ABSTRACT On‐site monitoring of microorganisms remains challenging because of low concentrations, strong background interference, and dynamic aerosol diffusion, particularly for aerosol‐transmitted pathogens. Here, we report a rapid detection platform that integrates a Puri‐focusing microfluidic chip, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and ...
