Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

An ATP‐Mediated Antibiotic β‐Peptide Nanofiber That Kills Multidrug‐Resistant Bacteria via a Multistage Mechanism

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
The 3K‐AP system forms infinite supramolecular fibrils that undergo controlled degradation into shorter fragments upon enzymatic hydrolysis. Multitechnique imaging reveals a stepwise bacteriolytic mechanism involving bacterial entrapment, disassembly into lethal constructs, and associated extracellular vesicle release, highlighting the dynamic ...

Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1995
In this review I will concentrate on three questions concerning the issue of dark matter in spiral galaxies. In the first place (and for the most part) I will discuss the analysis of rotation curves and the question whether the “maximum–disk hypothesis” is valid.

Towards an Algorithmic Guide to Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
In this paper, we are interested in the one-player game Spiral Galaxies, and study it from an algorithmic viewpoint. Spiral Galaxies has been shown to be NP-hard [Friedman, 2002] more than a decade ago, but so far it seems that no one has dared exploring its algorithmic universe. We take this trip and visit some of its corners.

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1092-1103, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1212-1228, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

Engineering Asymmetry: How Chirality Boosts Catalysis, Spin Selectivity, and Light–Matter Interactions

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review connects chiroptical spectroscopy, asymmetric catalysis, and spintronics, revealing how chirality influences the interactions of matter with light, charge, and spin. Across diverse systems, remarkable chiroptical effects emerge, showing among others that high efficiencies can arise without absolute enantiopurity, and that functionality is ...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Modeling Study on Energetic Particle Distribution in the Ionospheric South Atlantic Anomaly at Height of the Space Station

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) in Earth's radiation belt is a critical region that poses significant threats to the safety of Space Stations. This region harbors a high concentration of energetic particles that can penetrate Space Stations, thereby affecting onboard components and posing risks to astronauts.
