Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

Multi‐scale Optimization on Interfacial Evaporative Cooling for Photovoltaic Performance Enhancement

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.
This study presents a passive siphon‐driven interfacial evaporative cooling technology for photovoltaics. A multiscale multiphysics model is developed and validated experimentally. Results show that optimizing installation parameters reduces operating temperature by up to 22.3 °C and boosts power efficiency by 8.9%, offering a practical pathway for ...

Windbreak effects may affect short‐stature and tall‐stature corn comparisons

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Tall‐stature corn (TSC) and short‐stature corn (SSC): Red dots represent the potential windbreak effect on SSC yield. Dots above the dashed line represent yields greater, and the one below the dashed line represents yields below those of open fields. Yields of SSC are maximum two to five times the height difference of TSC–SSC (∆H) (Brandle et al., 2021)

Urban greenspace and dementia: Measures, mechanisms, and methodological guidance

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspace has been associated with improved cognition and reduced Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD‐related dementias (ADRD) risk, but findings remain mixed, study quality varies, and evidence is largely cross‐sectional. To advance the field, we offer guidance to select and apply greenspace exposure measures in AD/ADRD research.
