Advanced Electrospun Nanofiber Epidermal Electronics for Electrophysiological Monitoring: From Conformal Interfaces to Multimodal Closed‐Loop Systems

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidermal bioelectronics is a transformative technology for continuous health monitoring and human‐computer interaction. However, the mechanical and physiological mismatch at the skin–device interface limits its long‐term application. Electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs), with their unique three‐dimensional hierarchical porous network and ...

Non‐Physical Barrier Design and Environmental Conditions Alter Routing and Survival of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1551-1561, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pacific salmon face substantial challenges when migrating through anthropogenically modified river systems, such as the Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta (the Delta). Non‐physical behavioral barriers, such as the bioacoustic fish fence (BAFF), are one potential solution for guiding fish away from hazards without obstructing water flow ...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...
