Photofluidization of Azobenzene‐Based Smart Materials: Fundamental Mechanisms, Structural Classifications, and Surface Patterning Applications

SmartMat, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
Azobenzene materials possess reversible photofluidization, promising for surface patterning. This review summarizes state‐of‐the‐art advances in azo‐material photofluidization, including photoisomerization mechanisms, molecular/polymer structural categories, emerging patterning applications, remaining challenges and future outlooks.

Phonon‐Modulated Kerr Nonlinearity in Ultrathin 2H‐MoTe2

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2026.
Phase‐sensitive cross‐phase modulation (XPM) encodes the pump‐induced transient nonlinear optical response of ultrathin 2H‐MoTe2 into the time‐dependent phase of a delayed broadband probe pulse. Dual‐pump excitation enables coherent control of the phonon‐modulated nonlinear response.

A Novel Distributed Sensor Network to Assess Wind Turbine Blade Acoustics for Structural Health Monitoring

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To reduce the need for scheduled wind turbine blade inspections and large‐scale repairs, a novel distributed acoustic sensing system for monitoring the structural health of wind turbine blades is proposed. This integral passive monitoring system utilizes a sparse array of in‐blade multimodal sensors and a single blade‐external downtower sensor,

The 2023–2024 El Niño as a Preview of Future Tropical Forest Climate

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests are an important component of the global carbon cycle. Increasingly frequent droughts and heatwaves are undermining their resilience, with far‐reaching impacts on local livelihoods and on regional and global hydrological cycles.

Kilometer‐Scale Modeling of Atmospheric River Precipitation Using the Regionally Refined SCREAM Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates kilometer‐scale simulations of atmospheric river (AR) precipitation using the Simple Cloud Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM). Four AR events that cause flooding and impact the Puget Sound basin in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are simulated using SCREAM with a regional refined mesh (RRM) at 3.125 km over the PNW ...

Effects of Reduced Precipitation and Water Level Variability on Phytoplankton Dynamics and Thermal Structure in a Large Tropical Reservoir

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Drought is one of the most severe and complex natural hazards causing changes in water balance and impeding crucial water‐dependent ecosystem services. Over the last 25 years, multiple severe droughts linked to El Niño events have affected the Zambian and Zimbabwean regions.
