Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.We propose the Powerful‐but‐Limited Generative AI theorem, demonstrating that embedding human‐inspired constraints, such as fixed utility functions and neuro‐symbolic submission layers, ensures generative AI remains controllable by preventing self‐improvement beyond designer intent.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.A new coastline formed during the 2021 eruption of La Palma quickly eroded, becoming crenellated and with pocket beaches, then retreated more gradually as resistant interiors of the lava were exposed. In contrast, a second thicker lava delta changed more gradually, highlighting the importance of lithology to coastal erosion.
