Anti‐Astrotropik — Outer Space, Technology and Resistance in the Tropics

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
This paper traces an intellectual and geographical arc of thinking about outer space in the tropics, connecting Peter Redfield's Space in the Tropics: From Convicts to Rockets in French Guiana (2000), Sean T. Mitchell's Constellations of Inequality: Space, Race, and Utopia in Brazil (2017) and Asif Siddiqi's Cosmic Fragments: Dislocation and Discontent

A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves [PDF]

, 2008
The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passage of the blast wave via the cranium, and propagation of the blast wave to

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

How to make people do things with words

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 454-470, June 2026.
Abstract Sometimes we do what other people tell us to. A natural thought is that the motivation to act on an instruction comes about rationally as the result of interpreting an imperative and deciding to act on it; that is, by updating on information that gets mediated through belief‐desire reasoning.

Nanolayer‐Encapsulated Stretchable Liquid‐Metal Sheets for Thermal Management

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
A stretchable liquid metal sheet with both high thermal conductivity and mechanical flexibility is developed. Its trilayer structure, comprising copper‐particle‐dispersed gallium liquid metal encapsulated by styrene‐butadiene‐styrene nanosheets, shows 40.4 W m−1 K−1 conductivity, elongation exceeding 200%, and retention of 96% of its initial ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1299-1312, May 2026.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Comparative Elemental Signatures of Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Lead Round Nose (LRN) Projectiles on Complex Biological Targets Using Micro-XRF and Portable XRF

Forensic Sciences
Background: In forensic ballistics, identifying ammunition types on physical evidence is critical, particularly when metallic residues are minimal. This study comparatively analyzes the elemental signatures deposited by two common projectiles—Full Metal ...
