Capability and Limitations of a Tuned Mass Damper for a 15‐MW Semisubmersible Floating Wind Turbine
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 11, November 2026.ABSTRACT Large floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) under coupled aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loading exhibit broadband low‐frequency response in addition to the platform‐pitch resonance. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have been studied for a range of applications, but their net benefit under fully coupled operational conditions has not been quantified.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 79, 1 October 2026.Spin‐orbit torque controls the Néel vector of antiferromagnetic IrMn3, which selectively exchange‐couples with spins of Co only in the ferrimagnetic CoGd. This selective interfacial pinning induces the non‐collinear spiral spin configuration, leading to a non‐uniform distribution of local compensation temperature along the film thickness, and enabling ...

Mechanical Flexibility Enables DNA Origami to Overcome Steric Confinement in Mucus
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.Mechanical flexibility is introduced as a design parameter to enhance nanocarrier transport in mucus. Using DNA origami, flexibility is decoupled from size, shap and surface chemistry, revealing improved passage through confined hydrogel networks. While surface passivation reduces aggregation, flexibility further boosts transport, offering a general ...
