Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...

Surface‐Anchored Microgel‐Based Films as Anti‐Icing Coatings
The microgel‐based anti‐icing coatings presented in this work reduce ice adhesion by up to 90% on various substrates. This effect can be attributed to the incorporated functional cationic moieties binding a lubricating layer of quasi‐liquid interfacial water.

Linking Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of air pollution on charitable giving. We suggest that the burdens associated with poor air quality are associated with a dampening of civic and philanthropic engagement. Analyzing 12 years of county‐level data from the United States with fixed‐effects OLS and instrumental variables regressions, we identify a ...

Abstract Porosity and permeability in crystalline shield basement are commonly assumed to be low, yet some fault zones sustain fluid circulation over kilometer scales. Here we quantify multiscale fault‐zone connectivity at Kivetty, central Finland, by integrating legacy deep‐borehole data, including packer tests, downhole logs, and a long‐term multi ...

In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

Cache‐Cache: Dans les souffles du Grand Fleuve…
ABSTRACT Between ventriloquism and divination, devotion and consecration, an old and sublime marine game unfolds each day, with living breaths shared in the waters of the great river. In Tadoussac, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, at the mouth of the Saguenay, the rumor of whales has long resonated.

Fluid Toxicities: Violent Affective Ecologies in Cartagena, Colombia
ABSTRACT Water is at the centre of climate change emergency concerns in coastal cities. It constitutes here a fluid entry point to investigating the socio‐ecological politics of toxicities for residents dwelling with and against contaminated waters in Cartagena, Colombia's urban extensions.
