Design and Deployment of a Regulation‐Compliant Infrared Heating System for UK Field Trials

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Free‐air warming systems are essential for simulating climate change in field conditions, yet most are not designed to meet UK or EU health and safety standards. We present the design and field deployment of a hexagonal temperature‐free air controlled enhancement (T‐FACE) system that meets UK and EU health and safety requirements for outdoor ...

A Review of Robotic Surgery: Engineering Considerations and Future Directions From Surgeons' Perspectives

open access: yesThe International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Since its initial inception, robotic‐assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) is continually being applied to a wider array of procedures. However, there are significant limitations in current surgical subsystems, including a large learning curve, lack of effective haptic feedback, decreased surgical intuition, and decreased ...

A Novel Distributed Sensor Network to Assess Wind Turbine Blade Acoustics for Structural Health Monitoring

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To reduce the need for scheduled wind turbine blade inspections and large‐scale repairs, a novel distributed acoustic sensing system for monitoring the structural health of wind turbine blades is proposed. This integral passive monitoring system utilizes a sparse array of in‐blade multimodal sensors and a single blade‐external downtower sensor,

Determination of Earth's Static Gravity Field Using Quantum Gravity Satellites at Very Low Earth Orbit

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite platforms and quantum‐optical sensing technologies may provide new observation approaches for improving Earth's static gravity field models. This study conceptually assesses their potential contribution through a two‐tier closed‐loop simulation framework.

Methodology for assessing the suitability of immature stages of Lepidoptera for nocturnal surveying using ultraviolet flashlights

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 845-852, October 2026.
Lepidoptera are highly sensitive to changes in their surroundings, making them excellent indicators of ecosystem health; however, surveying adult butterflies of certain species presents challenges. Nocturnal surveying of larvae and pupae using ultraviolet light (UV) is gaining popularity as a simple, inexpensive, and non‐invasive method.
