Soft Ferroelectrics in One Dimension: Ferroelectric Columnar Liquid Crystals

ChemPlusChem, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
Helical ferroelectric columnar liquid crystals (FCLCs) confine bistable axial polarization within individual columns. An electric field reversibly flips the macrodipole, enabling two nonvolatile states readable as “0” and “1.” This Cconcept highlights supramolecular locking and helical architectures that deliver genuine switching and long‐lived zero ...

Comparative Experimental Efficiency of Solar Water Heating Systems With Enhanced Thermal Performance: A Review

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 3056-3072, June 2026.
This review presents a comparative analysis of experimental studies aimed at improving the thermal efficiency of solar water heating (SWH) systems. Various enhancement techniques, including nanofluids, phase change materials, optimized collector designs, and hybrid photovoltaic–thermal systems, are evaluated based on their impact on system performance ...

A Turbulence‐Informed Parameterization of Phase Partitioning in Stratiform Mixed‐Phase Clouds for the LMDZ Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract High‐latitude clouds, present over the Arctic Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic continent, are very often mixed‐phase clouds (MPCs), that is, composed of both supercooled liquid droplets and ice crystals. Despite being essential for the climate of the poles, they remain a major modeling challenge for climate models. In this study, we

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The Influence of Sea Ice and Ice Mélange on Outlet Glacier Dynamics in the Arctic and Antarctic: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.

Effect of Early‐Stage Crystallization on the Mechanical Properties of Transparent Niobium Silicate Glass Ceramics

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although various strengthening strategies are being exploited to address the inherent brittleness of glasses, they often fail in integrating fracture resistance with preserved transparency, making the pursuit of robust yet transparent glass‐based materials a compelling challenge.

Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Viscosity of PbSiO3 Glass: Viscous Flow and Structural Relaxation

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Viscosity measurements above ∼1012 Pa·s are intrinsically time dependent, and thus equilibrium values can only be defined after structural relaxation is completed. This work investigates the evolution of nonequilibrium viscosity in PbSiO3 glass below the glass transition region and its approach to equilibrium viscosity during structural ...

Cloud Thermodynamic Phase Retrievals From Simultaneous Shortwave Infrared Multi‐Angle Polarization Measurements

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Accurate identification of cloud thermodynamic phases ‐warm water, supercooled water and ice—is essential for the global energy budget and hydrological cycle, and serves as a crucial prerequisite for retrieving cloud optical and microphysical parameters.
