Better to Be Lucky Than Good: How Clinicians and Patients Frame Medical Outcomes
Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 48, Issue 8, November 2026.ABSTRACT Notions of good or bad luck sit uncomfortably in contemporary medical practice defined by efforts to control life through biomedical knowledge and skilled expertise. Yet, talk about luck is common in healthcare to explain medical courses of action.

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 48, Issue 8, November 2026.ABSTRACT Informal donor conception (IDC) has an ambiguous status under UK law. Whilst not illegal, it is discouraged by regulators and only partially recognised in attributions of legal parenthood. In this paper, we analyse IDC as a lens to explore the politics of reproductive signification.

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT Despite the benefits of multiple mating to females, many moths appear to be monandrous. A curious case involves the tomato fruit borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée); this species is supposedly monogamous particularly due to its short adult lifespan. However, N.

From Policy Neglect to Research Agenda: Administrative Burdens and Donor‐Conceived Mobilization
Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT Donor‐conceived adults are a growing population, mobilizing against the very regulatory arrangements that determined the terms into which they were conceived. In Canada and the United States, where donor conception remains persistently under‐regulated, gamete donation policy has historically prioritized the presumed needs of donors, recipient ...

Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...
