Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Vibrational Exfoliation of 2D Materials

Small, EarlyView.
Vibrational energy folds, fractures and exfoliates atomically and molecularly thin materials. Combining experimentation and computational methods, this unique vibrational synthesis pathway is revealed. This process overcomes barriers of existing approaches by processing 1000 g/L dispersions without loss in yield.

Kirigami‐Inspired Deployable Microneedle Robot With Enhanced Conformability for Targeted Oral Drug Delivery

Small, EarlyView.
We have engineered a kirigami‐inspired deployable microneedle robot (KiriBot) capable of remotely controlled attachment to target tissues for sustained drug release. KiriBot incorporates a flexible structure that enhances conformability, improves adherence to irregular tissues, and facilitates microneedle insertion.

Prediction of Ceiling Temperature in Tunnel Fires Under Canyon‐Wind Conditions Using Ensemble Learning

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A LightGBM‐based ensemble learning framework with SHAP interpretability analysis was developed for predicting ceiling temperature in canyon‐wind tunnel fires. The model demonstrated robust generalization (R2 = 0.7476) under unseen extreme conditions, with fire‐source location identified as the primary factor driving temperature evolution.

Broke and Broken: The Crises Facing Local Government in England

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 199-205, January/March 2025.
Abstract English local government faces a perilous position owing to insufficient funding, structural issues and capacity challenges. Fourteen years of austerity have significantly reduced council budgets, while increased demand for services—particularly adult social care—has strained resources.
