Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Haptic Experiences Shift Students' Representational Gestures and Knowledge Resources
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 138-160, February 2026.ABSTRACT The present investigation adopts an embodied cognition perspective to characterize students' learning interactions between gesture and haptic experience. Haptic technologies have emerged as a promising approach to science learning because they can simulate physical forces that students would otherwise not experience. Student‐generated gestures

Prelacrimal Recess‐Pterygoid Window Approach to the Sphenoidal Lateral Recess Skull Base Defects
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 66-76, February 2026.ABSTRACT Objective The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the prelacrimal recess‐pterygoid window approach (PLR‐PWA) for treating cerebrospinal fluid leaks and meningoencephaloceles (CSFLME) in the sphenoidal lateral recess (SLR). (2) To investigate the pneumatization of the SLR and its relationship with surrounding structures, including the

Reconstructing Magnetotail Reconnection Events Using Data Mining is Feasible and Repeatable
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Recently, Stephens et al. (2023), https://doi.org/10.1029/2022ja031066 utilized a data mining (DM) algorithm, applied to 26 years of magnetospheric magnetometer observations coupled with a flexible formulation of the magnetospheric magnetic field, to reconstruct the global configuration of the magnetotail when the Magnetospheric MultiScale ...

High Fluctuating Asymmetry in Birds in a Large Neotropical City
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.Urbanisation is a powerful environmental force, negatively impacting the few organisms that persist in urban areas. Here, we investigated the relationship between urbanisation intensity and Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in birds. Our results suggest that urbanisation (even at lower intensities) may impose stronger genetic and/or environmental stress on ...
