While previous studies have posited a prohibitive cost for such attacks, we show that this cost may be ...

Experimental Demonstration of Temporally Aware Fault‐Tolerant Sensor Fusion Using Memristive Associative Learning

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In dynamic driving scenarios, the proposed approach ensures only temporally aligned sensor inputs to make driving decisions, preventing false activations. By enabling selective hardware‐level learning, it achieves fast, reliable responses under noisy conditions.

Atomistic Insights Into Lithium Alloying and Crystallization at Metal Interlayers in Zero‐Excess Lithium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations with machine learning potentials, combined with experiments, reveal how interlayer metals govern Li alloying and crystallization in zero‐excess lithium batteries. Mg and Zn promote solid‐solution alloy‐mediated pathways that influence Li diffusion and structural uniformity, while Bi forms ordered intermetallics with more ...

Accounting for Substitution: Improving Estimates of GHG Reductions From Cattle‐Based Product Demand Shifts

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...
