Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Supercooling storage inhibits the browning and quality degradation of fresh-cut potatoes

Food Innovation and Advances
This research investigated how supercooling (SC) can inhibit browning and prevent quality degradation in fresh-cut potatoes by analyzing surface color, texture, phenolic metabolism, membrane stability, antioxidant activity, and reactive oxygen species ...

Nucleation Kinetics Reveals a Distinct Biological Function Space of Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study utilizes microfluidics to quantify the nucleation rates of dense liquid phases within dilute solutions and of the reverse process, in which dilute voids nucleate inside condensates. The interfacial tension is identified as the key determinant of both processes.

Deformation‐Induced Formation of Stray Grains in Additive Manufacturing of Single Crystals

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Stray grain formation severely limits the additive manufacturing of single‐crystal alloys. By integrating in situ synchrotron techniques, ex situ characterization, and multi‐scale multi‐physics modeling, the authors reveal that stray grains originate from dislocations at the solid‐liquid interface, rather than thermal supercooling in conventional ...

What Cavities in Superconductors Reveal About Superconductivity

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 5, May 2026.
When a normal metal with one or more small cavities in its interior is cooled into the superconducting state in the presence of a magnetic field, will it expel the entire field to reach its lowest energy state? The conventional theory says yes, the theory of hole superconductivity says no.

Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.

Conjugated 2′‐Fucosyllactose–Potato Protein Hydrolysate as Novel Prebiotics

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study introduces a novel protein‐containing prebiotic based on 2′‐FL‐PPH Maillard conjugates micelles that co‐deliver proteins and carbohydrates to the colon to selectively nourish colonic probiotics. These digestion‐resistant micelles enhanced Bifidobacteria, SCFAs, gut barrier integrity, and metabolic health more effectively than conventional ...
