Shining Light on Quantum Materials: Interplay of Symmetry, Quantum Geometry, and Nonlinear Photocurrents

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
Nonlinear photocurrents provide broadband spectroscopic access to quantum materials from terahertz to optical frequencies. Their sensitivity to spin, orbital, chiral, topological, and quantum‐geometric properties enables insights across ferroelectrics, magnetic and two‐dimensional materials, moiré heterostructures, topological flat bands, and light ...

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2334-2344, September 2026.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

Strategic and Discursive Shifts in Türkiye's Perceptions of NATO, 1952–2020

open access: yesMiddle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 3, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
Abstract With crises intensifying across the Middle East, the Türkiye‐NATO relationship has become a matter of vital interest for global security. Employing a mixed‐methods approach, this study investigates shifts in Ankara's perceptions of NATO from the year of Türkiye's accession in 1952 through 2020. Officials’ views are examined through an analysis
