Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

Endogenous colony dormancy shapes seasonal cold tolerance in temperate ants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As eusocial superorganisms, cold‐adapted ants must survive multiple consecutive winters and are shaped by selective pressures acting at both individual and colony‐level.

CaMgSi3O8, the MacKenzie's molecule, a possible indicator of supercooling

, 1985
CaMgSi3O8 component was found in plagioclases in lunar basalts and terrestrial submarine basalts, and could be crystallized by supercooling bulk compositions which located in the primary field of plagioclase in the An-Ab-Di system at 1 atm. CaMgSi3O8 was

Effect of Various Parameters on a Supercooling Phenomenon of Still Bulk Water and Water Solution [PDF]

, 1993
Supercooling characteristics on still bulk water and several kinds of water solutions were investigated experimentally. The test fluids, which were sandwiched in between two immiscible liquids in a glass tube, were set in a constant low-temperature room,

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Circularly Polarized Luminescent and Melt‐Processable Copper(I)‐Organic Glasses Based on 2,2′‐Bis(diphenylphosphino)‐1,1′‐binaphthyl

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 26, 22 June 2026.
Homochiral Cu(I) cyanide complexes based on 2,2’‐bis(diphenylphosphino)‐1,1’‐binaphthyl (BINAP) form melt‐quenched and desolvation‐derived metal–organic glasses that exhibit circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at room temperature, enabling processable chiroptical materials.

Influence of Dispersants on the Stability and Supercooling Degree of Gallium-Indium-Tin Alloy Nanofluids

Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology
Against the backdrop of the growing demand for renewable energy, ice energy storage is of great significance for balancing the power grid and storing renewable energy. However, existing ice energy storage materials suffer from a large supercooling degree. When nanofluids are used to improve their performance, their stability is poor. This study focuses
