The master molecule that built biology: How water shaped the chemistry of life

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The deep entanglement of biomolecular structure and function with aqueous systems supports the view that water actively sculpted both molecules and processes during the origins of life and continues to constrain evolution today. Nature's rules of biochemistry and biophysics have survived for nearly 4 billion years.

Enduring Crises of the Nation‐State: How Spatial Imaginations Reshape Identity and Dis/Unity

Geography Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article reframes the contemporary “crisis” of the nation‐state not as a simple erosion of sovereignty but as a problem of spatial misalignment: adaptive states remain strategically embedded in dense transnational regimes, yet domestic legitimacy falters when unitary national imaginaries confront heterogeneous, multi‐sited social realities.

Forest Type as a Key Driver of Butterfly Species Diversity

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Forest types and complex vegetation structures are key factors in promoting butterfly diversity. While considerable studies represent the checklists of butterfly species across various forest types in Bangladesh, the influence of different forest types on butterfly species diversity remains unexplored. To explore this, we conducted the study from April
