Strain Effects on Melting of Thermally Induced Crystals in Polyisoprene Rubber

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The melting temperature (Tm) of thermally induced crystals (TICs) in synthetic cis‐1,4‐polyisoprene rubber (IR) slightly increases (~4 K) upon stretching, accompanied by peak broadening, indicating destabilization of the rubbery state and a broader crystal size distribution.

Experimental Investigation of Moisture Movement During Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Its Effect on Physical Rock Weathering in Low‐Porosity Alpine Limestone

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The progressive weakening of alpine rockwalls through subcritical cracking, driven by repeated low‐magnitude stress processes, plays a key role in alpine rock weathering. Laboratory studies using acoustic emission (AE) monitoring have shown that thermal stresses from freeze–thaw cycling induce crack propagation, with recent work highlighting ...

Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.
