Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 16, 19 August 2026.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Gray‐Zone Simulation of the Dry Convective Boundary Layer Using Fourier Neural Operator

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Previous machine learning (ML) weather prediction models primarily focus on global mesoscale forecasting. This study develops three‐dimensional Fourier neural operator (FNO) models for simulating the dry convective boundary layer (CBL) at 800‐m grid spacing, which is a resolution in the gray zone. The filtered large‐eddy simulation data of the

Improved Representation of Surface Emissivity Effects on Longwave Radiation in a Coupled Earth System Model

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Many Earth System Models (ESMs) approximate surface emissivity as constant over all wavelengths (broadband). This approximation misrepresents the spectral distribution of longwave (LW) flux and introduces error in the LW atmospheric heating rate.

Model Sensitivities of Biomass‐Burning Aerosol Chemical Aging, Sulfate Formation, and Cloud Droplet Activation in the Southeastern Atlantic Using CESM and E3SM

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Biomass‐burning smoke drives large uncertainty in climate projections of the Earth's radiative balance. This is due to the chemical and physical evolution of smoke and its impact on clouds and radiation. Here we focus on the southeastern Atlantic region and its inflow of African biomass‐burning smoke during August 2017.

A Deep Learning Model of Lightning Stroke Density

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system; however, existing parameterizations for use in forecasting and earth system models show room for improvement in capturing spatial and temporal variations in its frequency. This study develops deep learning‐based parameterizations of lightning stroke density using meteorological ...

Unique Vertical Characteristics of Hydrometeors Observed in the Tropical Cyclone Outer Rainband Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the vertical cloud microphysics in the stratiform sectors of Hurricane Tammy's outer rainband region and their relationship to local environments. We used in situ Optical Array Probe (OAP) measurements and tail‐Doppler radar data from four NOAA P‐3 spiral modules on 19–22 October 2023, as Tammy intensified from a ...
