Urban configurations of carbon neutrality: Insights from the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance [PDF]

Environment and Planning C: Politics and Space, 2018
This paper examines configurations of carbon neutrality in the building and energy sector as expressed in the urban governance documents of the members of the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance (CNCA). ‘Carbon neutrality’ is a mutable idea, which makes it unclear what kinds of future urban systems are imagined.

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.

High-Efficiency Polysulfide Trapping with g-C₃N₄/CNT Hybrids for Superior Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Energies
Commercialization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is critically hampered by the severe lithium polysulfide shuttle effect. Hence, designing multifunctional materials that synergistically provide physical confinement of polysulfides, chemical ...

Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.
