Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

Quantifiers for a Modal Future

open access: yesPhilosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Future auxiliaries present a challenge to the classical analysis of modal expressions as existential or universal quantifiers over a contextually provided set of possible worlds: these expressions come with a distinct modal flavor, but their interaction with negation and the fact that future judgments come in degrees of confidence is ...

Sensing Frames: A Contribution to Sensory Pluralism

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are expressions like “sense of responsibility,” “sense of community,” and “business acumen” merely metaphors, or do they refer to deeper, socially embedded forms of perception? This article introduces the concept of “sensing frames”: the socially learned, culturally shaped, and pragmatically enacted modalities through which people perceive and

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

There Is More Than Meets the Eye: The Dual Role of Perception in Shaping Color Lexicons

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Color's ultimate physical reality is continuous, and yet human beings “cut” this continuum into a rather small number of categories reflected in their languages’ color lexicon. There are striking cross‐linguistic differences in the color lexicon, which are primarily attributed to differences in communicative needs, but also striking ...

How ISM properties drive Lyman Continuum Escape [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2016
The thesis introduces physical processes that are at work in astrophysical plasmas and reviews the current state of research related to the emission of ionizing photons, i.e. Lyman continuum (LyC).

Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Methods for Destruction of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Water

open access: yesRemediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants widely recognized for their resistance to degradation and potential adverse health effects. The treatment of PFAS‐contaminated aqueous media (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, and leachate) has been extensively studied in the published literature; however, the

Preliminary Evaluation of In Situ Chemical Oxidation Effects on Soil Carbon Dioxide Emission in a Soil Slurry System

open access: yesRemediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), a remediation technology for soil and groundwater contamination, utilizes oxidants that can impact the soil environment and indirectly influence soil CO2 emissions. Understanding these emissions may support more sustainable ISCO applications by enabling adjustments to treatment conditions that limit ...

The impact of cosmic-ray heating on the cooling of the low-metallicity interstellar medium

open access: yes
Low-metallicity environments are subject to inefficient cooling. They also have low dust-to-gas ratios and therefore less efficient photoelectric (PE) heating than in solar-neighbourhood conditions, where PE heating is one of the most important heating ...

MXene–MOF Hybrid Nanocomposites: Emerging Platforms for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review presents MXene–MOF hybrid materials for advanced water purification. By integrating the high conductivity and hydrophilicity of MXenes with the tunable porosity of MOFs, these hybrids demonstrate superior performance in adsorption, photocatalysis, and electrochemical degradation.
