Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract In light of the centennial of the Schrödinger equation, this article addresses the popular idea that quantum mechanical effects play an important role in biological systems. We start by defining what is qualified as a quantum effect. We then clarify the idea that quantum mechanical tunneling is a crucial factor in enzyme catalysis.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Auroral transport models (ATMs) play an important role in quantitative studies of optical auroras, their driving mechanisms, and their effects on the ionosphere and thermosphere. TREx‐ATM was initially developed as the support model for the Transition Region Explorer (TREx) mission, and has gained increasing applications in the community in ...

A Statistical Study of Warm Plasma Cloak Particles Using Van Allen Probe Data
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The Warm Plasma Cloak (WPC) consists of ions in the inner magnetosphere with energies between 10 eV and 1 keV and showing a bidirectional pitch angle distribution of particles. These particles play an important role in wave–particle interactions and in controlling the dayside reconnection rate at the magnetopause.

Strong Mode Coupling and Maximum Directional Absorption in Reciprocal Bianisotropic Metasurfaces
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 12, 25 June 2026.Symmetry breaking in q‐BIC dielectric metasurfaces enables strong electromagnetic coupling between electric and magnetic modes, leading to their hybridization and Rabi‐like splitting. This mechanism produces pronounced reciprocal bianisotropy and dual‐band asymmetric absorption under opposite illumination directions, offering a compact framework for ...

Dramatic and Elusive Resonant Lattice Kerker Effect in the Nonlinear Response of Plasmonic Lattices
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 12, 25 June 2026.Plasmonic metasurface that supports the resonant lattice Kerker effect, manifesting as the suppression of reflection in a narrow spectral range due to the simultaneous excitation of electric dipole and quadrupole modes, also gives rise to a substantial near‐field enhancement.
