Stimulus‐Responsive Gas Marbles as an Amphibious Carrier for Gaseous Materials

Advanced Science
Gas marbles are a new family of particle‐stabilized soft dispersed system with a soap bubble‐like air‐in‐water‐in‐air structure. Herein, stimulus‐responsive character is successfully introduced to a gas marble system for the first time using polymer ...

Reaffirming the Consistency of the Original Stock of NBS 19 Limestone and Its Byproduct With Finer Grain Size for δ13C and δ18O Calibrations—Both Distributed Internationally

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Approximately 3–4 kg of NBS 19 limestone, prepared in 1982 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), serves as a primary reference for the carbon isotope scales VPDB and VPDB‐LSVEC and the oxygen isotope scale VPDB. Its consensus values are +1.95‰ for δ13C and −2.2‰ for δ18O measurements.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Ceramic Production and Geodiversity in Iron Age Iberia: An Archaeometric Study of Pottery from Castrejón de Capote (SW Spain)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 659-673, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The hillfort of Castrejón de Capote is one of the best investigated settlements of Late Iron Age southwest Iberia. Located in the territory that the classical sources attributed to the Celtici, it was occupied between the early 4th and the 1st centuries bce.

Divergent Roles of mGlu2 and mGlu3 Receptors in Amyloid‐β Production and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

Multifunctional Liquid Marble Compound Lenses

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019
Mosquito compound eyes are elaborate multifunctional hierarchical structures. The presence of ordered curved features spanning length scales of nanometers to millimeters provides the mosquito eye with a wide field of view, an infinite depth of field, and antifogging properties.

Recent advancements in liquid marbles: fabrication, materials, control mechanisms, and applications

Frontiers in Lab on a Chip Technologies
Liquid marbles (LMs) are versatile soft matter systems comprising a liquid core encapsulated by a shell of hydrophobic particles. LMs exhibit non-wetting properties and hence have enhanced mobility compared with droplets on a solid substrate.

Groundwater Connectivity and Buffering in Western Australian Hypersaline Lakes: Implications for Late‐Stage Martian Lacustrine Systems

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained. Here, we report geochemical trends in lake waters that vary across wet‐dry cycles as well as with regional location and ...
