On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of

A physics primer on photon‐counting detectors in CT: Physics, signal formation, and performance

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Photon‐counting detector CT (PCD‐CT) is moving from laboratory development to clinical deployment. However, its threshold‐bin data arise from a tightly coupled detector–readout chain that can be difficult to understand as a whole. These data are not a direct readout of photon energy, but the outcome of a sequence of physical and electronic ...

A Stopped‐Flow Instrument for Millisecond Timescale Reaction Monitoring on a Standard NMR Spectrometer

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 711-728, August 2026.
A new stopped‐flow instrument allows kinetic measurements of reactions 10 milliseconds after initiating them by mixing in a flow cell inserted into a standard NMR probe and spectrometer. High‐speed video, pressure and NMR line‐shape data are used to characterise mixing and stopping, and a protodeboronation reaction with a 5‐millisecond half‐life used ...

Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Seawater Hydrolysis Effects on Aramid Fiber Rupture Behavior

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 15, Page 3289-3309, 1 August 2026.
Hydrolytic aging in seawater produces markedly different mechanical responses among commercial Aramid fibers. While some fibers exhibit progressive degradation, others maintain stable or even improved tensile behavior. Experimental yarn‐scale testing combined with mathematical degradation modeling and Arrhenius‐based lifetime prediction provides new ...

Synthesis and Characterization of an Azido Nitrofurazanyl Ether: An Energy‐Rich Heterocyclic Plasticizer With a Low Glass Transition Temperature

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1365-1374, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We report on the synthesis and characterization of 3‐(2‐(2‐azidoethoxy)ethoxy)‐4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (NFPEG2N3), which is a liquid nitrofurazanyl ether that was designed to be an energy‐rich plasticizer for glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)‐ and nitrocellulose (NC)‐based formulations.

The Evolution of Semiconductor Devices: From Transistors to Quantum and Neuromorphic Computing

open access: yesphysica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, Volume 20, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review presents the evolution of semiconductor devices from BJTs to fin field‐effect transistors (FinFETs), nanowire, and carbon nanotube transistors. It highlights emerging materials, including SiC and GaN, and examines neuromorphic and quantum computing, industry applications, performance benchmarks, challenges, and future directions.

Basins of Attraction and Escape in Pendulum‐Type Potentials with Quadratic Air Drag

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Quadratic air drag is a common dissipative mechanism at moderate to high velocities, yet in nonlinear one‐degree‐of‐freedom systems, it typically blocks closed‐form solutions and energy‐based phase‐plane partitions. We study the autonomous class ẍ+α(x)|ẋ|ẋ+β(x)sgn(ẋ)+V′(x)=0,$$\begin{equation*} \ddot{x}+\alpha (x)\,|\dot{x}|\,\dot{x}+\beta

Effect of Foam Faces and Butterfly Auxetic Core on Sandwich Nanoplate Vibration and Buckling

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This research examines the thermomechanical vibration and buckling properties of a three‐layer sandwich nanoplate, which consists of foam face layers and a butterfly‐shaped auxetic core. The formulation is developed based on Hamilton's principle and higher‐order shear deformation theory (HSDT), utilizing an analytical Navier‐type solution to ...
