Evolutionary and ecological insights from Cytinus: a plant within a plant by de Vega, C, Thorogood, CJ, Albaladejo, RG, Rakotonasolo, F, Hobbhahn, N, Martos, F, Burgoyne, PM, Johnson, SD

“…Cytinus species are externally invisible for most of their life, emerging from their hosts only to flower and set seed. Owing to this cryptic life cycle, the genus is poorly understood and is likely to include several hitherto undescribed species, particularly in threatened forest habitat in Madagascar. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Ultrafast diffusive cross-sheet motion of lithium through antimonene with a 2+1 dimensional kinetics by Kistanov, Andrey A., Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Cai, Yongqing, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhou, Kun, Zhang, Yong-Wei

“…Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene are highly appealing for lithium battery applications owing to their high surface–volume ratios. However, a critical issue that limits their practical applications is the confined motion of lithium atoms within their van der Waals gaps, which is the leading cause for battery failure due to severe clustering and phase separation. …”
