The Dynamic Impact of the Energy Transition on Food Security in Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the context of persistent food insecurity and the global push for the transition toward clean energy in developing countries, understanding the association between clean energy access and food affordability is increasingly important to inform multisectoral policy interventions. Against this background, this study explores the dynamic impact

A Versatile Heterometallic Microporous MOF for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

Small, EarlyView.
This work describes a green and scalable approach to robust and flexible heterometallic MOFs, MIP‐215's, with tunable photoactivity for efficient, noble‐metal‐free solar hydrogen production. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic particulate systems offer a cost‐effective solar hydrogen production but are generally limited by narrow visiblelight absorption and poor ...

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...
