Intrinsic and Water‐Triggered Hydrophilicity in Tween 20‐PDMS Composites for Dynamic and Long‐Term Wettability Control

Small, Volume 22, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
A one‐step bulk integration of the surfactant Tween 20 into PDMS enables intrinsic and water‐triggered hydrophilicity. Combined molecular simulations and experiments reveal a dual mechanism where bound and mobile Tween 20 molecules cooperatively induce self‐activating, stretch‐tolerant, and long‐term wettability, supporting self‐driven liquid transport,

N‐FOREWARNS: Regional Nowcasting of Surface Water Flooding With a 3‐h Lead Time Predictability Limit

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
N‐FOREWARNS produces surface water flood predictions on hourly lead times (nowcasting timescales). During a user engagement workshop, experts reported that N‐FOREWARNS produces few false alarms and high warning accuracy, but often misses minor impact floods.

The SCEC Community Rheology Model for the Southern California Lithosphere: Geological Framework, Ductile Flow Laws, and Preliminary Implications

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) Community Rheology Model (CRM) comprises a three‐dimensional geologic framework model (GFM) of southern California's lithosphere, and synthetic aggregate ductile flow laws applicable to each GFM rock type under low‐strain conditions. Given temperature, volatile content, pressure, and strain rate,

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.

Coordinated Planning of Flexible Interconnection and Grid-Forming Energy Storage in Low-Voltage Distribution Networks Considering Off-Grid Operation

Energies
Severe weather events increasingly threaten the reliability of low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs). Existing fault restoration strategies primarily focus on medium-voltage networks, leaving LVDNs highly vulnerable during prolonged grid outages.

Geospatial Analysis of Population Exposure to Flooding in the Sudd Region, South Sudan

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Sudd wetland in South Sudan extends over 90,000 km2. Large‐scale flood events in recent years (2019–2022) are said to have led to the displacement of an estimated 1.8 million people in total. However, these estimates are approximate and to date there has not been a systematic analysis of population exposure to flooding in the Sudd region ...

Comparison of Grid-Forming Control Solutions for Offshore Wind Farms Connected with Diode Rectifier-Based High Voltage DC Transmission

Zhongguo dianli
For offshore wind power transmission systems based on diode rectifier-based DC transmission, the voltage and frequency support of the offshore AC grid based on the grid-forming control of offshore wind turbines has become a key issue.

Worlding geographies: A question of languages

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract This intervention responds to the ‘Geography in the World’ series, addressing the question from two angles. Firstly, it shifts the focus from geography in the world to worlding geographies. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's concept of ‘becoming‐minority’, it encourages reflection on the current geography of knowledge production as a historical,
