Recent Advances in Oriented Hydrogels: From Fundamental Mechanisms to Future Challenges

SusMat, EarlyView.
Traditional hydrogels suffer from weak mechanical properties and limited functionality due to their random polymer networks. This review comprehensively summarizes the reinforcement mechanisms of oriented structure for hydrogels, the design/fabrication strategies, and the latest application progress of high‐strength oriented hydrogels.

Monsters of finance

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Context‐free graphs and their transition groups

Transactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Starting from context‐free inverse graphs, we introduce a new class of groups and study their structural properties. We establish closure properties, show that their coword problems are context‐free, analyze torsion elements, and realize them as subgroups of the asynchronous rational group.

Extrinsic Limitations of Stealthy Hyperuniform Devices

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 37, 9 October 2026.
Stealthy hyperuniform devices exhibit a scattering‐free angular region whose extent follows a simple quenching equation. Experimental measurements confirm this prediction but reveal quenching efficiencies far below theoretical expectations. Multiple scattering and finite‐size effects are quantified, establishing realistic performance limits for ...

Molecular Polymer Bottlebrushes for Nanomedicine: Structure‐Guided Design, Biological Transport, and Biomedical Applications

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Molecular polymer bottlebrushes are presented as structurally programmable nanoplatforms whose size/aspect ratio, grafting density, stiffness, topology, and surface chemistry tune biological behavior, including cellular uptake, circulation, accumulation, penetration, clearance, and interfacial transport. These structure–behavior relationships guide MPB‐

Bordered Floer homology, handlebody detection, and compressing diffeomorphisms

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 114, Issue 4, October 2026.
Abstract We show that, up to connected sums with integer homology L$L$‐spaces, bordered Floer homology detects handlebodies, as well as whether a mapping class extends over a given handlebody or compression body. Using this, we combine ideas of Casson–Long with the theory of train tracks to give an algorithm using bordered Floer homology to detect ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2286-2297, September 2026.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Whole orchard recycling in California's Central Valley: Benefits, management, and adoption

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Whole orchard recycling (WOR) has become a common practice in California (CA) orchards and vineyards due to declining options for agricultural biomass disposal. WOR is the process by which entire orchards or vineyards are shredded into chips, spread onto the soil surface, and incorporated into the soil before replanting a new crop.

Impacts of 4R nitrogen management on soil health and residual soil nitrate across annual and perennial cropping systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important and expensive inputs for crop production. Inefficient N management reduces profitability and contributes to nitrate (NO3−) accumulation in groundwater, posing risks to environmental quality. The 4R nutrient stewardship framework aims to optimize fertilizer management by applying four components: right ...
