Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Stochastic Dynamics of Domain Wall on a Racetrack: Impact of Line‐Edge Roughness

open access: yesphysica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, Volume 20, Issue 9, September 2026.
Line‐edge roughness is shown to induce stochastic domain‐wall pinning in ferromagnetic racetracks even in the absence of thermal fluctuations. The resulting depinning probability exhibits a robust sigmoidal current dependence, revealing a physical mechanism for probabilistic domain‐wall dynamics and highlighting the important role of fabrication ...

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.

Detecting Young Children's Deception Using Facial Expression Analysis With High Dimensional Statistical Methods

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although deception is common in early childhood, accurately detecting deception remains a significant challenge. The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of using high‐dimensional statistical methods to detect children's deception through facial expressions, with a focus on incorporating two time‐dependent statistics: slope and ...

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
