NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part II: Verification
In this work we present the verification of the NowPrecip precipitation nowcasting systems (version 1 and version 2). Using 3.5 years of data over the period 2020–2023, their performance is compared with PySTEPS and the ICON numerical weather prediction ensemble by computing deterministic and probabilistic metrics.

Photonic nanovoids for tailored optoelectronic response in silicon solar cells
Optoelectronic workflow followed by experimental validation, demonstrating state‐of‐the‐art efficiency gains. Abstract As crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells become thinner to reduce cost and weight, the optical design principles that govern light trapping (LT) must evolve.

I Better “Not to”: Voluntary Sustainability Constraints in Mindful Organic Food Consumption
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to understand constraints from limitations and skepticism to a form of agency in consumer ethics. Framed in Granular Interaction Thinking theory, our study addresses the research question of how the voluntary sustainability constraints leverage mindful consumption.
