Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Unveiling Float Glass Staining Induced by an Acid‐Cleaning Product
International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Staining of glass facades is a recurring and significant problem worldwide. This study investigates the causes of staining observed on six laminated float glass samples from four manufacturers (α, β, γ, and δ). Samples from β, γ, and δ were new, whereas those from α (α1, α2, and α3) were taken from a building after service exposure.

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response
Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...

Deep Learning Pipeline for the Identification of Ground Beetles (Carabidae) in New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The identification of invertebrates is often difficult and time‐consuming because of their high abundance and diversity. This limits the use of invertebrates in environmental monitoring and conservation. However, computer vision approaches combined with deep learning models offer a range of benefits to insect conservation, particularly for image‐based ...

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 63, 6 August 2026.A biomimetic aerogel conduit was engineered from a nanofiber of gelatin/poly(l‐lactic acid) doped with polypyrrole nanoparticles, integrated with tannic acid and Mg2+. This “electro‐ionic‐immune” strategy mimicked spinal cord properties, reduced calcium overload, inflammation, oxidative damage, promoted neural stem cell differentiation, suppressed ...
