Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Estimating albedo for evapotranspiration models

, 1989
Solar reflectance, or albedo, is one of the most critical factors affecting the prediction of evaporation and evapotranspiration. When evaporation or evapotranspiration is estimated from predictive models, and a poor selection of a value for albedo is ...

A 7‐Year Eddy Covariance Dataset of the Energy, Water Vapour and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes Observed in a Siberian Dwarf Pine Ecosystem

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, October 2026.
To clarify the role of alpine ecosystems in water and carbon cycling, we measured eddy‐covariance fluxes in a Siberian dwarf pine ecosystem in the Japanese Alps. The quality of the flux data was assessed using micrometeorological criteria, and data gaps were filled using a random forest regression approach.

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1256-1276, October 2026.
This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
