How important are quantum mechanical effects in controlling biological functions: Enzymes, electron transfer and bird navigation

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract In light of the centennial of the Schrödinger equation, this article addresses the popular idea that quantum mechanical effects play an important role in biological systems. We start by defining what is qualified as a quantum effect. We then clarify the idea that quantum mechanical tunneling is a crucial factor in enzyme catalysis.

Direct democracy and political extremism

Economica, Volume 93, Issue 371, Page 1095-1121, July 2026.
Abstract We study how citizens' right to directly decide on policies through popular initiatives affects the attractiveness of extreme candidates in representative elections. In our theoretical framework, single prominent policy issues on which individual voters hold extreme views get a large weight in their assessment of candidates, thereby favouring ...

Imminent Localized Precipitation Preceded by a Surge in Cloud‐Base Descent and Reflectivity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The nowcasting of localized precipitation (LP) is often limited by insufficient observation of the vertical cloud evolution preceding rainfall. Here we systematically tracked rapid cloud development within 2 hr before LP onset, utilizing cloud data collected in 2024 from the millimeter‐wavelength cloud radar network across China, together with

Linkage Between Atmospheric Rivers and Overshooting Convection and Their Roles on UTLS Water Vapor During the North American Monsoon: Insight From DCOTSS

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Overshooting convection significantly impacts the composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), yet its linkage to Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) remains poorly understood. This study investigates how ARs modulate environmental conditions and moisture distribution associated with overshooting convection in the central and ...

Large‐Scale Moisture Circulation Index Related to Socioeconomic Drought and Its Subseasonal Forecast Skill in the Asian Monsoon Rainy Season

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Socioeconomic drought, which occurs when water demand exceeds available supply and often leads to water withdrawal restrictions, affects water resource management. However, the relationship between large‐scale moisture circulation and the occurrence of socioeconomic drought has not been well understood. In this study, we focused on the Yoshino
