Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Autoparallels and the Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We prove that autoparallel curves associated with a torsion‐free but not necessarily metric‐compatible affine connection can be derived from an action principle. We explicitly construct the action functional and show by standard variational techniques that it produces the desired equations.

A Possible Solution to the Mystery of the ANITA Anomalous Events

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a balloon‐borne radio observatory flying over Antarctica, detected two strange upward‐going radio pulse events that have not yet been explained by our current understanding of physics.

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.

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

A Dynamical and Kinematic Model of the Galactic Stellar Halo and Possible Implications for Galaxy Formation Scenarios [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1997
We re-analyse the kinematics of the system of blue horizontal branch field (BHBF) stars in the Galactic halo (in particular the outer halo), fitting the kinematics with the model of radial and tangential velocity dispersions in the halo as a function of galactocentric distance r proposed by Sommer-Larsen, Flynn & Christensen (1994), using a much ...

Unified Analysis of Fermionic Tunneling, Barrow‐Exponential Entropy Corrections, and Plasma Lensing in Carrollian Reissner‐Nordström Spacetime

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 3, March 2026.
Carrollian Reissner‐Nordström black holes are investigated through fermionic tunneling, entropy‐corrected thermodynamics, and plasma‐modified gravitational lensing. The generalized uncertainty principle introduces minimal‐length corrections to the Hawking temperature, while the combined Barrow‐Exponential entropy reveals smooth thermodynamic crossovers

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

GeoNav: Enhancing field phenotyping with high‐precision global navigation systems integration in the Field Book mobile application

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Field data collection is a key activity in plant breeding, underpinning efforts to develop crop varieties with improved yields, disease resistance, and climate adaptability. Accurately associating data with the correct field plots is critical for selection and genetic improvement but can be challenging, especially in large experiments.
