(Im)possibility of Redress: Mega‐Infrastructures and the Voided Politics of Contestation

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Drawing on critical geography's recent engagement with negativity, this article intervenes in dominant relational approaches to infrastructure by examining the (im)possibility of redress under mega‐infrastructure development through a case study of the Lamu Port–South Sudan–Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor in coastal Kenya.

Aharonov–Bohm Effect for Cooper Pairs in Kerr Spacetime: Gravitomagnetic Phase Shifts From Frame Dragging

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,

Calibration of Retrospective and Prospective Life Satisfaction Judgments Around the World

open access: yesFUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 8, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT It is both a physical and psychological fact that humans have access to records of the past but not to records of the future. Due to this epistemic asymmetry in time, we hypothesized that retrospection about past psychological states will be better calibrated than prospection about future psychological states.

The Greatest Mystery of Futures Studies

open access: yesFUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 8, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Futures studies has long lived with a puzzle: every domain the field investigates is already studied by some special science. Three familiar replies—that futures studies extracts insights, takes a longer view, or includes lay perspectives—each capture something real but do not, on closer inspection, individuate the field at the level of its ...
