Giant Exfoliation Induced Magnetic Coercivity in Fe3GaTe2

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical exfoliation is shown to transform the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2 from a soft into a hard magnetic system. Reducing thickness drives a crossover to single‐domain behavior, dramatically enhancing in‐plane coercivity to near–permanent‐magnet levels at room temperature.

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Green Finance, Digitalization, and Banks' Sustainable Business Model Innovations Toward Net‐Zero Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial capital is widely recognized as having the potential to provide investments needed for net‐zero transitions. While recent empirical studies reveal that financial digitalization and fintech have changed Chinese banks' loan portfolios and business models, they stem from credit restrictions on heavily polluting enterprises and from ...
