Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO₃. [PDF]

Adv Mater
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high-impact joint. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Kinetic Study on the Reaction of Phenylperoxy Radicals With Nitric Oxide

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cavity ring‐down spectroscopy (CRDS) and quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy (QCLAS), in conjunction with pulsed laser photolysis, were employed to investigate the reaction between phenylperoxy radicals (C6H5O2) and nitric oxide (NO) at a temperature of 296 ± 4 K. The experiment was carried out under N2 as bath gas.

Integration of Micro‐CT and XRF Mapping for Multimodal 3D Analysis of Polychrome Wooden Artifacts

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past 5 years, computer applications have become crucial to archeological research. Since the 1990s, the focus has transitioned from data management tools to the development of virtual models. Recently, digital documentation of cultural heritage has gained considerable focus, with 3D modeling of objects.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Between Gaps and Voids: An Archaeometrical Study of Degraded Fibers in a Sherd From the Cueva dos Chinches Muertas, Siltzul (Raxruha, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, excavations at the Cueva dos Chinches Muertas carried out by the Raxruha Viejo Project uncovered a small ceramic sherd distinguished by a stratified structure composed of multiple layers of textile imprints, both superficial and transversal.

Theologies of Mind: Eriugena and Pratyabhijñā Śaivism

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Though Eriugena's affinities with several Hindu traditions are clear, this article offers to my knowledge the first detailed discussion of Eriugena's theology in relation to any Indic theological school, here, the nondualist Śaiva tradition known as the Pratyabhijñā (“Recognition”) lineage.

Framing Displacement, Forcing Perspective: Black Visual Geographies and the Crisis of Homelessness in Oakland

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT While Black and visual geographies have examined the image's racial and spatial power, more work is needed to analyze how racial frames of view become spatially embedded. This paper advances such a practice by analyzing news images of homelessness in Oakland.

Geography and ‘The New’

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This Intervention reflects on the multiple, contradictory and ambivalent relations human geography has with ‘the new’. Some sort of relation with the new is an inescapable and necessary part of all practices of knowledge generation. Newness, whether it be an empirical finding, an idea, a concept or an approach, can fuel the interest, wonder ...

Three‐Dimensional Reconstruction of Cephalopod Beaks: A 3D Modeling Workflow Combining Prism‐Assisted Photogrammetry and Micro‐CT Validation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study presents a novel workflow for three‐dimensional reconstruction of small, dehydration‐sensitive biological specimens, demonstrated through cephalopod beak modeling. The method combines prism‐assisted photogrammetry—which captures five isometric views in under 60 s using 45° prism reflections—with digital sculpting in ZBrush and micro‐CT ...
