Towards Oblique Engagements With ‘Tipping Points’: A Critical Geography for Redirecting Debates

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This intervention brings debates about tipping points into conversation with critical geographical thinking to suggest a more ‘oblique’ engagement with the concept. Such an approach is vital for rethinking the normative discourses and established imaginaries that dominate in the application of ‘tipping’ to understandings of environmental ...

Law and Ethics of Nanotechnology: Traditional Legal Tools Advancing Nanomedicine

open access: yesphysica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Science fiction from the last decades is rapidly becoming science in daily life. For example, nanotechnology does cool things like creating driverless cars for people who are blind and storing solar energy to drive electric cars. Nanotechnology makes possible 3D printing of housing, clothing, and food and miraculous treatments for previously incurable ...

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 2484-2500, August 2026.
Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

CO2‐Derived Architected Carbons for Sustainable Energy Conversion and Storage

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
CO2‐derived carbon architectures are systematically engineered via thermochemical, electrochemical, and hybrid pathways to tailor electronic structure, interfacial charge transfer, and catalytic functionality. These materials demonstrate versatile performance across electrocatalysis and energy storage, establishing a coherent framework that links ...

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Bound by blood and bloodshed: Sibling ties and participation in genocidal violence

open access: yesCriminology, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 619-654, August 2026.
Abstract Focusing on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, we examine how sibling relationships—one of the most salient familial bonds—influence individual engagement in violence during mass atrocity. Drawing on an adaptation of differential association and social learning theories for contexts of mass atrocity, we analyze a novel dataset linking over 300,000 ...

How language divides: Asymmetries in the differentiating power of opinion discourse

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Polarization is typically conceptualized as increasing distance between opposing attitudes. We argue instead that it unfolds through asymmetries in the group‐differentiating power of opinion language. In public discourse, actors use distinctive linguistic repertoires to signal alignment, mark boundaries, and render opinion landscapes ...
