Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Energy Poverty and Climate Shocks: Are Changing Weather Patterns Leaving South Africa in the Dark?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy and climate change are deeply interlinked, with the latter exerting significant influence on energy demand and supply. In regions such as South Africa, where socio‐economic vulnerability is high, understanding how climate change affects energy poverty is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 ...

When machines learn with organizations: AI‐enabled knowledge creation and entrepreneurship

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary To promote entrepreneurship and new business development, firms will increasingly rely on new forms of knowledge creation to manage environments marked by technological change and radical uncertainty. We argue that as generative artificial intelligence (Gen‐AI) becomes embedded in organizational processes, knowledge creation ...

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Chain Orientation and Polycrystalline Disorder as Antagonistic Descriptors of Thermal and Triboelectric Transport in 3D‐Nanoconfined PMMA, PEEK, and PET Nanowire Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Nanoconfinement in interconnected 3D‐AAO provides a common platform to disentangle crystallinity, crystalline texture, and microstructural disorder in PMMA, PEEK, and PET. Amorphous PMMA exhibits a 350% thermal conductivity increase, demonstrating a substantial confinement‐related contribution independent of crystallization, while strongly oriented PET
