Zircon Decomposition in Glass Melting Furnaces: Experimental and Thermodynamic Approaches
International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The decomposition of zircon (ZrSiO4) refractories by fiberglass compositions at high temperatures (>1300°C) was investigated using the static cup test and two thermodynamic approaches, including an empirical method and calculations performed in FactSage.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The efficacy of rapid seismic response is fundamentally constrained by the sequential, multi‐step nature of conventional InSAR processing, where error propagation and reliance on auxiliary data hinder automation. Here, we present a holistic framework using Physics‐Aware Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to directly retrieve absolute ...

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.This work presents a novel design strategy for active metasurfaces that actively switches OAM modes. The metasurface integrates VO2 within MIM meta‐atoms. Operating at 1500 nm, the designed platform enables large leaps in topological charge. For instance, the reflected beam can be switched from a topological charge of −1 in the insulating (M1) phase to

Retrieval and Attribution of Tropical Cyclone Vertical Tilt From SAR and Infrared Satellite Imagery
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) are destructive natural hazards, and their vertical tilt, defined as the displacement between the sea surface center and cloud top center, plays a key role in storm structure and intensity changes. This study constructed a global satellite‐based tilt data set from 1,024 paired synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and infrared
