Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Evidence of Genetic Bottleneck in Geoffroea decorticans (Fabaceae): Implications for Conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We documented genetic variation, population structure, and bottleneck signals in Geoffroea decorticans (Fabaceae) populations across the Atacama Desert and emphasize the urgency of genetic monitoring. Conservation plans should prioritize populations based on genetic information including those with low diversity, strong bottleneck signals and high ...

Photothermal Macroporous Lignin Cryogels for Off‐Grid, Continuous Atmospheric Water Collection via Interlayer Heat Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 30, 13 April 2026.
Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

Atacama Desert’s Solastalgia: Color and Water for Dumping

open access: yesBiosemiotics
The blooming desert or ‘El desierto florido’ in Spanish, is a millenarian climate pattern caused by El Niño that warms the surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and creates the conditions for rain in the Altiplano and the Atacama Desert, north of Chile.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Antofagasta Chile

open access: yesDocomomo Journal, 2022
Founded in 1866, the city of Antofagasta is located in the coastal Atacama Desert, very close to the Tropic of Capricorn. Its architectural development occurred mainly during two periods: at first as a cosmopolitan industrial city, port of the nitrate ...

Scientific Argumentation as a Foundation for the Design of Inquiry-Based Science Instruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite the attention that inquiry has received in science education research and policy, a coherent means for implementing inquiry in the classroom has been missing [1].

The Physics of Galaxy Cluster Outskirts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As the largest virialized structures in the universe, galaxy clusters continue to grow and accrete matter from the cosmic web. Due to the low gas density in the outskirts of clusters, measurements are very challenging, requiring extremely sensitive ...
