Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract SiO2 is a fundamental component of planetary interiors, yet its high‐pressure melting and phase relations remain uncertain. We develop a machine learning potential with first‐principles accuracy and perform large‐scale two‐phase coexistence simulations to determine the melting curves of stishovite, post‐stishovite, and seifertite up to 160 GPa

Geologically Current Rates of Hotspot Motion
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Hotspots, sites of mid‐plate volcanism or of excessive volcanism along a plate boundary, overlie plumes of hot rock that rise in the solid state from Earth's mantle. Previously estimated rates of lateral hotspot motion relative to a hotspot reference frame since Late Cretaceous time range from ∼3 to ∼80 mm/yr.

Ultrasensitive Tunable Terahertz Sensor via Critical Coupling‐Enhanced Fano Resonance
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.This work presents a hybrid terahertz sensor via the combination of graphene‐strip metasurface, cavity resonance, and gold film polaritons. The sensor achieves critical coupling with an ultrahigh‐Q resonance and tunable FOM with stable high sensitivity via gate voltage regulation, exhibiting excellent performance for on‐chip integrated biochemical ...

Adaptive Hydrogels With Spatiotemporal Stiffening Using pH‐Modulating Enzymes
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 38, 11 May 2026.The chemomechanical coupling in an adaptive hydrogel is studied to further the development of adaptive hydrogels. This coupling is achieved by embedding a pH‐modulating enzyme in a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The enzymatic reaction can be triggered locally, which generates a pH‐decreasing wave throughout the system, increasing the crosslinking density and ...
