Direct ink writing of piezoresistive isoprene rubber nanocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Use of carbon nanoparticles as conductive fillers in an isoprene rubber matrix for piezoresistive sensors fabricated via direct ink writing. Abstract Despite the growing interest in flexible electronics and wearable sensors, research in piezoresistive polymer nanocomposites has stagnated in consideration of the polymer matrices, particularly in ...

The importance of integrating herbarium records into conservation plans: a case study on Honduran ferns and lycophytes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

Pt NPs Supported on CeO2/C as Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Novel Physicochemical Insights on the Synthesis and on the Improved Activity and Stability

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The effect of CeO2 on the Pt nanoparticles nucleation and growth and on the activity versus the oxygen reduction reaction was studied by in situ synchrotron wide‐angle X‐ray total scattering. The most active catalyst (MA = 423 A g−1; SA = 446 µA cm−2) shows greater stability than the commercial benchmark as demonstrated by accelerated stress tests at ...

Intermetallic Platinum‐Calcium Alloy Breaks the Activity‐Stability Trade‐Off in Fuel Cell for Enhanced Performance

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A solution‐phase synthesized platinum‐alkaline earth metal alloy (PtCa) has been designed as an alternative to platinum‐transition metal alloys. The resulting alloy exhibits a structurally ordered arrangement which simultaneously achieves high activity and stability.

Se‐Assisted Modulation of Electronic Structure of Ruthenium Phosphide Nanotubes for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Selenium‐doped ruthenium phosphide (Ru2(P0.9Se0.1)) is obtained via ion‐engineering techniques. Ru sites in Ru2(P0.9Se0.1) act as primary catalytic centers, optimizing intermediate adsorption energies. The precisely controlled Se doping enhances the Ru−OH moieties formation on the surface while preventing Ru dissolution.

Influence of maleic anhydride grafting on the positive temperature coefficient effect of semi‐conductive composites and space charge injection to XLPE insulation

open access: yesHigh Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 517-529, April 2025.
Abstract To suppress the resistivity positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect of ethylene‐butyl acrylate copolymer (EBA)‐based semi‐conductive shielding layer and the injection of charge carriers to insulation layer, the polar molecule maleic anhydride (MAH) is grafted onto EBA macromolecules by melt blending and thermal grafting.

Integrative taxonomy of the Ceratozamia mexicana Brongn. (Zamiaceae) species complex from a phylogeographic perspective

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
Recent research has ignited a renewed interest in Ceratozamia cycads, unveiling their remarkable diversity. While previous studies primarily focused on morphology, this investigation employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating phylogenetics, morphology, and ecological niches. Our methods identify seven distinct lineages as separate species.

Using Environmental DNA Sampling for Simultaneous Detection of Hosts and Their Pathogens: A Case Study With the Critically Endangered Frog Genus Atelopus

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Environmental DNA is a powerful tool for simultaneous detection of rare species and their pathogens. We confirmed the presence of Atelopus at multiple sampling locations and found that the concentration of the amphibian pathogen Bd in eDNA samples was correlated with stream characteristics and the pathogen load of the amphibian community.

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)
