From Fundamentals to Engineering Sustainable Triboelectric Materials: A Review of Cellulose Platforms

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This review examines cellulose as a sustainable platform for triboelectric nanogenerators, linking molecular structure, surface chemistry, and material engineering to charge generation, retention, and dissipation. Native, regenerated, and nanocellulose materials, functionalization strategies, scalable manufacturing, and diverse applications are ...

From Social Justice to Indigenous Peoples' Rights: Continuities and (Re)framings in Ejido Property Claims in Yucatán, Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how long‐standing local conflicts concerning the nature of common property, the distribution of access and administrative rights associated with it, and more broadly the nature of the community and the forms of citizenship that organise its governance shape demands for justice regarding land transfers to outside investors

Assessment of Commercially Important and Herbivorous Fish Species Ten Years After the Akumal Fishery Refuge Zone Decree

open access: yesDiversity
Fishing Refuge Zones (FRZs) are intended to promote the recovery of exploited populations, but their ecological outcomes can be difficult to interpret on reefs where fisheries protection coincides with persistent habitat degradation, multiple local ...

Using Natural Fibres and Indigenous Knowledge to Develop Alternatives to Plastic Ropes Used in Mussel Aquaculture

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aquaculture relies extensively on plastic materials, creating a need for lower‐plastic alternatives that retain the functional properties required for production. This study combined mātauranga Māori and science to identify natural plant fibres suitable for manufacturing mussel ropes and to evaluate their ability to catch and retain Greenshell mussel ...

Detection and Analysis of an Upward Jet‐Like Electrical Discharge Intercepting a High‐Altitude Research Aircraft

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract During a 2023 field campaign, a NASA ER‐2 research aircraft intercepted an upward jet‐like electrical discharge at 20 km altitude over an intense tropical thunderstorm. This event was analyzed using airborne multispectral optical sensors, electric field mills, X‐band radar, passive microwave, and ground‐based radio networks.

The Impact of Agave (Agave Tequilana) Powder on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PLA Bio‐Based Composites

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated PLA composites containing untreated agave powder (3–20 wt.%) as a proof‐of‐concept baseline for evaluating the effect of filler content on material performance. Low AP contents (3–5 wt.%) largely preserved the main thermal degradation behavior of PLA, whereas higher contents shifted degradation toward lower temperatures ...
