Integrated Multiband Smart Windows From UV to LWIR Based on Molecularly Engineered Thermochromic Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiband smart window integrating a thermochromic poly (EEEA‐co‐NIPAM) hydrogel with functional layers, enabling dynamic VIS‐NIR solar modulation alongside UV shielding and low LWIR emissivity. The polymer network forms hydrogen‐bonding interactions, promoting chain collapse above a reduced lower critical solution temperature, and accelerating the ...

Climate Adaptation as Relational Capacity

Kvinder, Køn & Forskning
Pastoralist women in Kenya’s Kajiado County confront intensifying drought, yet adaptive capacity varies markedly. Using six focus group discussions across three ecologically distinct sites, this study applies an intersectional lens to explain that variation.
