Fire Performance and Flame‐Retardant Behavior of Epoxy Resin Modified With Fly Ash and Aluminum Trihydrate

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Fly ash (FA) and aluminium trihydrate (ATH) were incorporated into epoxy to enhance fire performance. Increasing FA content delayed ignition and reduced heat release, while the FA with ATH combination significantly improved thermal protection, extending the time for coated steel to reach 100°C from 183 to 646 s.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Multifactorial Role of Phytogenic CeO2 NPs in Crop Improvement and Stress Alleviation: A Mechanistic Overview

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates how CeO2 nanoparticles help plants withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. Their application reduces excessive ROS through enhanced antioxidant defenses, whereas modulating stress signaling, phytohormones, and gene expression.

Optical diagnostics-based numerical modeling of a compression-ignition optical research engine implementing ducted fuel injection

Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
Ducted fuel injection (DFI) is a promising strategy to dramatically reduce engine-out soot emissions from compression-ignition (CI) engines. To accelerate the integration of DFI into real-world engines, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful ...

The UK Clean Air Act at 70: An interdisciplinary analysis of historical air quality change

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 316-322, October 2026.
2026 marks the 70th anniversary of the first UK Clean Air Act, a pivotal moment for air quality in modern British history. Previous narratives on this legislation have largely centred on pollution in London and monodisciplinary perspectives. This article integrates historical research with reconstructed estimates of PM2.5 concentrations to spotlight ...

Simulating Regional‐Scale Aerosol Radiative Effects of Wildfire Smoke Using a High‐Resolution Coupled Meteorology‐Chemistry Model: HRRR‐Chem

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity, strongly influencing both regional air quality and the Earth's radiation budget via their aerosol emissions. Relying on an unparalleled observational data set from the 2019 NOAA/NASA FIREX‐AQ campaign, this study quantifies the direct radiative effects of two wildfires using the HRRR‐Chem ...

Photochemical Aging of Atmospheric Black Carbon Promotes Nitrate Coating in a Chinese Megacity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Black carbon (BC) aerosol critically influences climate and haze, yet the mechanisms driving its coating and light absorption enhancement remain poorly understood. Here, we show that BC in Beijing is coated by ammonium nitrate via photochemistry.

Thermal Black‐Infused Polyurethane Rigid Foams: Novel Formulations Toward Higher‐Performance and More Sustainable Insulation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
Thermal black improves polyurethane foam structure and stability. It helps the foam rise smoothly while promoting the formation of smaller, more uniform cells. The foam keeps its strength and insulation performance while reducing shrinkage. Its clean production and easy processing make it a sustainable, cost‐effective option for high‐performance ...
