Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Assessing the Feasibility of Wearable Devices for Physiological Monitoring and Heat Risk Prediction in Outdoor Agricultural Workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 9, Page 722-744, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Outdoor agricultural workers experience significant heat exposure, yet few studies have evaluated whether wearable sensors can reliably measure continuous physiological responses in real field conditions. This pilot study examined the feasibility and predictive utility of core temperature, hydration, heart rate, and movement data ...

Bonds, Bounds, and Borders: Crafting Hospitality with Unauthorized Migrants in Southern France

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 528-536, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the everyday politics of migrant hospitality in rural Southern France. Drawing on four years of fieldwork alongside benevolent residents hosting unauthorized migrants at their home or volunteering in migrant shelters, I consider how residents attempted to make up for the state's abandonment of migrant lives, the ethical ...

Wind Masculinities: Extractive, Caste, and Nationalist Rule in Rural India

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper shows how India's wind electricity regime does not simply decarbonize electricity; it reorganizes power through a distinctive wind masculinity—a caste‐coded, infrastructural mode of rule that keeps money, machines, and people moving.

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 63, 6 August 2026.
A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...

Tissue‐Adhesive Fabric‐Based Bioelectronics for Wearable and Implantable Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 66, 17 August 2026.
An implantable and wearable bioelectronic textile (iTextile) is introduced as a unified platform bridging wearable and implantable systems. By integrating a self‐healing polymer, stretchable silk fabric, conductive composite electrodes, and an adhesive hydrogel, the platform enables conformal, stable interfacing with soft tissues. The iTextile supports
