Metallized Sol–Gel coatings on ceramic glazes with photocatalytic activity by Guillermo Monrós, Carolina Delgado, José Antonio Badenes, Guillem Monrós-Andreu, Mario Llusar

“…The microstructure of the layers, studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that the heterogeneous nucleation of oxides from the inks supposes the formation of many nanocrystals that form clusters, also of nanometric size, growing parallel to each other and normal to the surface, following a film–glaze interaction model of nucleation, growth, and dissolution. The use of photocatalytic layers grown on the glaze facilitates the recovery of the photocatalyst, extending its lifespan and facilitating reuse tasks. …”

The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…Our findings illuminate how large-scale ecological patterns—including power laws in predator–prey biomass and avalanche-like resource pulses—can relate to evolutionary outcomes such as consistent personalities, life-history trade-offs, and density-dependent growth. This perspective strengthens the emerging view that ecology and evolution are two faces of the same coin, each shaping the other in a self-organized, energy-driven system.…”
