The First Archaeomagnetic Age at Tiwanaku and Implications for Dating Andean Metallurgical Furnaces

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first archaeomagnetic dating at Tiwanaku (Andean Altiplano). We compared the geomagnetic field values recorded by a metallurgical furnace against an updated SHAWQ2k‐SH global model and a regional intensity curve, both of which include, for the first time, high‐quality intensity data from the Southern Hemisphere.

Reconstruction of Core‐Surface Flows During the Last 3,300 Years

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding the Earth's magnetic field evolution requires examining the fluid flow at the core‐mantle boundary that drives the changes over different timescales. The inversion process to derive core‐surface flow velocities from secular variation data encounters non‐uniqueness issues, necessitating a priori assumptions that yield different ...

Evidence for Missing Geomagnetic Reversals From Geomagnetic Reversal Frequency Model Using Adaptive Kernel Density Estimation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The existence of missing geomagnetic reversals has been proposed, with potential for new magnetostratigraphic age controls. We estimate geomagnetic reversal frequency from 0 to 155 Ma using adaptive‐bandwidth kernel density estimation (AKDE) to evaluate data sparseness and to assess how reversal frequency changes when recently identified ...

Tailored Nickel Oxide Interfacial Layers Unlock Enhanced Charge Dynamics in LaTiOxNy Thin Film Photoanodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 4, 17 February 2026.
This study highlights the importance of designing photoanode architectures for solar water splitting that align intrinsic material properties with functional interfaces to optimize the extraction of photogenerated charges. The incorporation of NiOx surface layers in LaTiO2.5N0.5 (LTON) thin film photoanodes exemplifies this approach by leveraging band ...
