Interconnection, Obligation, Solar Power, and the Remaking of Energy Citizens on and off the Grid in California

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 359-368, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Electricity grid infrastructures shape future publics and the contours of political belonging or exclusion, including citizenship. But in fire‐prone, more precariously grid‐connected regions in California, experiments with micro‐ and home nanogrids, subsidized by the state and built in many cases with Tesla products, provide new opportunities ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3999-4015, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Humid‐Air Condensation Heat Transfer on Hierarchical Structured Superhydrophobic Graphite Composites

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Humid‐air condensation on graphite composites shows that making a surface superhydrophobic is not sufficient to enhance heat transfer. A hierarchical CuO/lauric‐acid coating yields spherical droplets but promotes Wenzel‐type pinning and adds effective thermal resistance under operation.

Thermally Modulated Specular Phonon Transport in a High‐Debye‐Temperature Diamond Nanobeam

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Thermal transport in single‐crystal diamond nanobeams is measured from 140 to 300 K using electro‐thermal micro‐suspended structures. The thermal conductivity shows an increasing deviation from Boltzmann transport predictions assuming fully diffuse boundary scattering at lower temperatures.
