Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...

Unsymmetrical β‐Fused Blatter Radical Zinc Phthalocyanines
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 4, 23 January 2026.Herein, we report the first synthesis of a new class of β‐fused Blatter–Zn phthalocyanines featuring a persistent radical π‐system, π–π‐driven crystal packing, and SOMO‐centered redox behavior. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction shows packing motifs dominated by centrosymmetric π‐π dimers.

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 2, 21 January 2026.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,
