Whistler Critical Mach Number Concept Revisited

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The formation of a collisionless shock is the result of a balance between nonlinear steepening and processes that counteract this steepening. Dispersive shocks are shocks in which dispersive processes counterbalance the front steepening and are formed when the dispersive spatial scale exceeds scales associated with resistive processes. Oblique

Bright and dark solitons in a photonic nonlinear quantum walk: lessons from the continuum

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics
We propose a nonlinear quantum walk model inspired in a photonic implementation in which the polarization state of the light field plays the role of the coin-qubit. In particular, we take profit of the nonlinear polarization rotation occurring in optical

Brittle and Crystal‐Plastic Defect Dynamics of Calcite Single Crystals

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The response of Earth materials to stress has a first‐order control on solid‐Earth dynamics ranging from earthquakes to volcanic eruptions to landslides. Thus, understanding the rheological behavior of minerals, preferentially at a micro‐scale to allow process‐based upscaling, has broad applications across the Earth sciences.

An Updated Treatment of the Oceanic Cool Skin in the COARE Bulk Flux Algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This paper presents physics improvements to the cool skin parameterization in the Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) bulk flux algorithm. The principal improvement is adopting a specification of the ocean side mixing profile that combines molecular and turbulent diffusivities via a form that allows turbulent dissipation to ...

The First Results of Ionospheric Skywave Propagation Experiment Over Taiwan

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract An ionospheric over‐the‐horizon propagation experiment was carried out in Taiwan to investigate characteristics of ionospheric F layer skywave propagation at frequencies 4–12 MHz. Experimental results show that there are prominent diurnal variations in the incident angle, virtual height and plasma frequency at reflection height, which are ...

Chiral solitons

open access: yes
Generalizing quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from three to arbitrarily many color degrees of freedom suggests that baryons can be described as solitons in an effective meson theory whose interaction strength decreases with the number of colors. The exact form of that theory is unknown, but at low energies chiral symmetry and its breaking are considered as
