Electrification and Child Work: Direct and Spillover Effects in Ethiopia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While electrification is often promoted for improving adults' labor supply, its effect on child work remains underexplored. Using four waves of Ethiopian panel data, we examine how electrification affects children's work time. By differentiating between households with and without own electricity access within electrified communities, we ...

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Synthesis of Samarium‐incorporated X‐ray‐sensitive nanoparticles and hydrogels: Diverse applications in radiation monitoring and dynamic information display

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Sm3+‐doped α‐NaLuF4 and β‐NaLuF4 were synthesized. The X‐ray‐activated persistent luminescence abilities and afterglow properties can be well controlled. Sm3+‐doped β‐NaLuF4 exhibits remarkable afterglow ability. The hexagonal β‐NaLuF4:3%Sm3+‐incorporated hydrogel can be further programmed with other types of hydrogels to enable tunable emission ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.
