Aharonov–Bohm Effect for Cooper Pairs in Kerr Spacetime: Gravitomagnetic Phase Shifts From Frame Dragging

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Porous Gas Bearings Lubricated With Air, Refrigerant R‐134a, Helium and Hydrogen

Lubrication Science, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 301-326, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Porous gas bearings (PGBs) enable high‐speed, oil‐free operation in modern rotating machinery. This study develops a coupled thermo‐hydrodynamic (THD) model for a cylindrical porous gas bearing lubricated with four working fluids—air, R‐134a, helium and hydrogen.

Moment‐Equivalent Adhesion Statistics Inferred From Particle Resuspension Kinetics

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
A data‐driven inverse framework is introduced to infer adhesion‐force statistics directly from particle resuspension measurements. By coupling the Rock’n’Roll model with a beta‐distribution formulation, adhesion percentiles collapse when normalized by rolling geometry.

Wind Turbine Control for Spatially Varying Turbulence

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of inflow turbulence generation simulation methods and blade pitch control strategies on the performance and blade structure loading of a large offshore wind turbine. Two inflow representations were considered: synthetic Kaimal turbulence generated in accordance with IEC design standards and large‐eddy ...

Basins of Attraction and Escape in Pendulum‐Type Potentials with Quadratic Air Drag

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Quadratic air drag is a common dissipative mechanism at moderate to high velocities, yet in nonlinear one‐degree‐of‐freedom systems, it typically blocks closed‐form solutions and energy‐based phase‐plane partitions. We study the autonomous class ẍ+α(x)|ẋ|ẋ+β(x)sgn(ẋ)+V′(x)=0,$$\begin{equation*} \ddot{x}+\alpha (x)\,|\dot{x}|\,\dot{x}+\beta

Lunar Trailblazer Spacecraft Tracking and Mission Recovery Attempt: Characterization of Status and Behavior of a Non‐Cooperative Object in Cis‐Lunar Space

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.
