On Shell Closure and Beyond: Classification and Functional Interpretation of Chela Types in Paguroidea (Decapoda)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
MicroCT technology and 3D shape analysis were used to classify paguroid chelae into six distinct shape types: compact, sturdy, elongate, scutiform, discoid, and compact. Each type is linked to characteristic biological roles: paired semidiscoid chelae enable symmetrical shelter closure; scutiform and discoid chelae support one‐sided shelter closure ...

Advances in Position‐Momentum Entanglement: A Versatile Tool for Quantum Technologies

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 15, 7 August 2026.
Position–momentum entanglement constitutes a high‐dimensional continuous‐variable resource in quantum optics. Recent advances in its generation, characterization, and control are reviewed, with emphasis on spontaneous parametric down‐conversion and modern measurement techniques.

High Efficiency NIR Luminescence Beyond 900 nm Through Promoting Cr3+ Pair Generation in Sr3Zr2O7 Layered Perovskite

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 15, 7 August 2026.
A Cr3+/La3+ codoped Sr3Zr2O7 NIR phosphor showing luminescence at ∼960 nm with high IQE/EQE (92.4%/57.5%) and good thermal stability was developed. La3+ stabilizes Cr3+ and induces Cr3+ pairs, enabling efficient blue‐to‐NIR conversion for underwater wireless optical communication.

High‐Resolution Particle Imaging Reveals the Importance of Phytodetrital Aggregate Flux and Mesopelagic Grazing for Carbon Storage in the Southern Ocean

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The biological, chemical, and physical processes in the mesopelagic zone that impact carbon flux to the deep ocean are poorly understood, particularly in the Southern Ocean, despite their importance to deep ocean carbon storage. Using a CTD‐mounted underwater imaging system, the Underwater Vision Profiler 5, we observed distributions of large ...

Tetragonal distortion of the multiferroic compound α‐LiFe5O8 from first‐principles calculations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1307-1318, August 2026.
First‐principles calculations suggest the tetragonal space group P43212 for the multiferroic compound α‐LiFe5O8, with a direct band gap smaller than that in its widely known cubic space group P4332. The tetragonal lattice distortion a > c is explained by relatively strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions parallel to the c axis and by Fe–O–Fe ...

No evidence of a decoy effect in bees: Rewardless flowers do not increase bumblebees' preference for neighbouring flowers

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 799-809, August 2026.
Many plants retain nectarless flowers; we tested whether these act as “decoys” for bees by making neighbouring rewarding flowers seem more valuable—a cognitive bias known as the decoy effect. The presence of decoy flowers did not shift bumblebee preferences between two equally rewarding inflorescences, and bees quickly learned to avoid these nectarless

Groups with a finite Busemann boundary are virtually cyclic

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This note is a continuation of the study of the relationship between the geometry of Cayley graphs and the size of its metric‐functional boundary. We show that if there exists a Cayley graph with finitely many Busemann points, then the underlying group is virtually cyclic.

A trace–path integral formula over function fields

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 114, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract We show that an arithmetic path integral over the ℓ$\ell$‐torsion of a Jacobian J[ℓ]$J[\ell]$ is equal to the trace of the Frobenius action on a representation of the Heisenberg group H(J[ℓ])$H(J[\ell])$, up to an explicitly determined sign.
