Topology and Material Optimization in Ultra‐Soft Magneto‐Active Structures: Making Advantage of Residual Anisotropies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
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

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 17, 8 September 2026.
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.

Harnessing Spatial and Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to Optimize Land Suitability for Kenaf Cultivation in Kelantan: Pathways for Sustainable Economic Development

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11438-11458, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In Kelantan, entrenched land degradation and extensive idling of agricultural lands exacerbate rural poverty. Current top‐down planning often overlooks local geographic and social constraints, despite state initiatives to convert idle lands and strengthen rural livelihoods.

Linking Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving

open access: yesNonprofit Management and Leadership, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 147-158, Fall 2026.
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 ...

A Platform for the Actuation of Magnetically Labeled Skeletal Muscle Cells Using Dynamic Magnetic Stimulation

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 49, 1 September 2026.
A magnetic stimulation platform for the remote stimulation of cells is presented, consisting of a magnetic stimulator and magnetic microspheres. Skeletal muscle cells are labeled with magnetic microspheres, which act as local magnetic actuators on the cells upon application of the magnetic field.

Porous and Permeable Crystalline Basement: Evidence for Large‐Scale Hydraulic Connectivity at Kivetty, Finland

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 907-926, September 2026.
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…

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
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

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
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.
