Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 736-749, July 2026.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Reduced Symmetry Metal–Organic Cage‐to‐Framework Materials

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 26, 22 June 2026.
A series of Ag(I) MOFs was synthesised from organic cages of varying structure and symmetry as linkers. Minor variations in the cage linkers were shown to significantly influence the structures of the resulting MOFs. This work represents the first incorporation of reduced symmetry (including chiral), intrinsically porous building blocks into MOFs, and ...

Sustainable Glass Foams From Recycled Glass and Rice Husk Ash: Thermal Insulation Performance for Ceiling Applications

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
Glass foams were produced using recycled glass and rice husk ash as raw materials. After deep characterization, miniature masonry model tests demonstrated effective thermal insulation when applied as a ceiling lining. The study validates the technical and environmental feasibility of glass foams for sustainable insulating materials in building ...

Energy Dependence of Energetic Electron Precipitation Rates Near the Foot of Electron Isotropy Boundary

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We report a rare quiet‐time observation by NOAA‐18 spacecraft flying nearly along the electron isotropy boundary (IBe). Complemented by data from four nearby meridional IBe crossings of other POES spacecraft, this case study provides a novel quantitative information concerning the regular energy dependence of the loss‐cone filling ratio (Jprec/

Development of Vertical Wind Turbine Blades Using 4D Printing of Composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 10966-10975, 20 June 2026.
Vertical axis wind turbine: White blade: Commercial. Black blade: Composite. ABSTRACT This paper presents the procedure to make vertical wind turbine blades using the technique of 4D printing of composites (4DPC). The blades are made using carbon/epoxy composite materials with a fiber volume fraction of about 60%.
