Virtual reality‐based reminiscence therapy for older adults to improve psychological well‐being and cognition: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Virtual reality‐reminiscence therapy (VR‐RT) has increasingly been applied to older adults to improve psychological well‐being and cognition. Objective This review aims to identify (1) the design characteristics of conducting a VR‐RT and (2) the effects of VR‐RT on the user experience, cognitive outcomes and psychological well‐being.

Cryomagma ascent on Europa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Europa's surface exhibits morphological features which, associated with a low crater density, might be interpreted to have formed as a result of recent cryovolcanic activity. In particular, the morphology of smooth deposits covering parts of the surface,

Freeze‐Thaw Processes Induce Convective Fingering in Saline Soils

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Saline soils in cold regions are often affected by freeze‐thaw processes, yet how these processes affect two‐dimensional salt transport dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we show the importance of two‐dimensional flow induced by seasonal freeze‐thaw processes based on a validated numerical model.
