Advances in Bioinspired Interfacial Adhesion with Frictional Enhancement: From Fundamental Research to Biomimetic Applications

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Diagenetic and Hydrothermal Processes Produce Heavy Molybdenum Isotope Signatures in Pelagic Sediments of the North and South Pacific

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Molybdenum isotopes (δ98Mo) have been used for more than two decades to investigate past‐ocean redox conditions due to the distinct behavior of this element in oxic and anoxic environments. The oxic sink is generally accepted to have a near‐constant δ98Mo value of −0.7‰, a value derived primarily from the δ98Mo signatures of Fe–Mn crusts and ...

Wave‐Signal Entrainment Into Combined Flows: Consequences for Sediment Transport, Signal Dislocation, and Turbulence

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Combined flows in which the unidirectional flow is a turbidity current that is superimposed by gravity waves, have complex flow dynamics. We present data from laboratory‐generated combined flows, that demonstrate the effects a wave field has on turbidity current sediment transport and the dynamics of mixing.

Experimental Verification of a Two‐Dimensional Inverse Method for Turbidity Currents Using a Deep Neural Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Turbidites have been widely studied as indicators of the occurrences and magnitudes of paleo‐tsunamis and paleo‐earthquakes. Inversion to estimate flow conditions from turbidites offers valuable insights into the magnitudes of paleo‐seismic and tsunami events.

Plio‐Pleistocene Antarctic Bottom Water Production in the Ross Sea Reconstructed From Hillary Canyon Levee Turbidites

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Dense shelf water (DSW) formed on Antarctica's continental shelves is a significant precursor for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), a critical component of global overturning circulation. We hypothesize that DSW cascades off the central Ross Sea shelf generated density currents that entrained sediment as they flowed down Hillary Canyon, resulting
