Law and Ethics of Nanotechnology: Traditional Legal Tools Advancing Nanomedicine

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Science fiction from the last decades is rapidly becoming science in daily life. For example, nanotechnology does cool things like creating driverless cars for people who are blind and storing solar energy to drive electric cars. Nanotechnology makes possible 3D printing of housing, clothing, and food and miraculous treatments for previously incurable ...

Just Transition Toward Clean Energy Access With Focus on Lead‐Based Perovskite Solar Cell Technology: Lessons, Experiences, and Future Perspectives

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
To intentionally mitigate energy poverty in underserved communities, advanced perovskite energy technologies such as lead‐based perovskite solar cells are necessary. However, in future deployment of these materials, energy justice, equity, inclusivity and environmental sustainability must be taken into account.

Food, Energy, and Health Implications of Agrivoltaic Farms

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The benefits of agrivoltaics (AV) are documented, with empirical evidence for their suitability for collocated energy generation, crop cultivation, and water savings, even for staple crops. What is lacking is a holistic modeling framework to design and optimize AV systems for specific crop types, micro‐environments, and panel configurations ...

Multi‐Induction Strategies in Crops: Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Sustainable Applications for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Production

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

Agrivoltaics for Rural Development: Energy Security, Crop Diversification, and Sustainability on Mexican Rainfed Maize Farms

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
This work presents a rural development strategy that transforms rainfed maize farms into crop‐rotation agrivoltaics systems irrigated with treated wastewater. Results show that electricity sales to the grid improve land‐use efficiency and provide clean energy to local communities.
