Identifying Suitable Front Contacts for High‐Efficiency Cd(Se,Te) Solar Cells on Space‐Qualified Cover Glass

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1277-1291, October 2026.
Front contact selection governs interfacial stability in CdTe‐based (Cd(Se,Te)) solar cells on ultra‐thin space‐qualified cover glass. Optimized TCO/emitter combinations suppress interdiffusion and deliver up to 16.2% AM0 efficiency with high specific power, demonstrating strong potential for lightweight space photovoltaics.

Non‐Monotonic Changes in the Thermal Conductivity of Conjugated Polymer Films with Increasing Levels of Chemical Doping

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 72, 7 September 2026.
Thermal conductivity changes non‐monotonically as regioregular (RR) and regiorandom (RRa) P3HT films are doped with F4TCNQ as a function of the extent to which P3HT is doped: an increase in thermal conductivity is observed upon lightly doping P3HT compared to the undoped film, followed by a decrease in the heavily doped regime. ABSTRACT The performance

Does Managerial Ability Improve Environmental Performance and Overall ESG Ratings? The Impact of the European Sustainability Reporting Mandate

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 7983-8016, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Towards First-Order Nonmonotonic Reasoning

, 2007
. We investigate the problem of reasoning in nonmonotonic extensions of first-order logic. In particular, we study reasoning in firstorder MKNF, the modal logic of minimal knowledge and negation as failure introduced by Lifschitz.

Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization

Small, Volume 22, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,

A Methodology to Analyze Students' Comics Created in the Context of Science Inquiry in Secondary Education Reveals Their Modes of Reasoning

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 7, Page 649-670, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a methodology for analyzing comics drawn by students in the context of a science inquiry. Within a pragmatist situated semiotic approach, comics created by the students in the context of a science inquiry are semiotic representations reflecting learning viewed as a sense‐making inferential process via the building of a ...
