Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Toward Rational Design of Aqueous Battery Membranes Beyond the Selectivity‐Conductivity Trade‐Off

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review examines sulfonated membranes for redox flow batteries. It focuses on proton transport mechanism, membrane design, performance limits, optimization strategies, and the pathway from molecular design to membrane manufacturing. ABSTRACT Electrochemical energy‐storage systems increasingly require membranes that can simultaneously deliver fast ...

AFRICA AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS: A RISK ASSESSMENT AND ACTION GUIDE [PDF]

It is increasingly apparent that, despite earlier hopes, the global economic crisis will have a significant impact on the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to co-ordinate and craft the most appropriate responses for African economies to withstand

Consumer Preferences Determine Resilience of Ecological-Economic Systems

, 2011
We perform a model analysis to study the origins of limited resilience in coupled ecological-economic systems. We demonstrate that under open access to ecosystems for profit-maximizing harvesting forms, the resilience properties of the system are ...

CeO2‐Based Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Design, Dynamic Mechanisms, and Electrolyte Adaptability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review shows how cerium oxide helps water‐splitting catalysts work better and last longer. It explains how CeO2 tunes electronic structure, oxygen‐vacancy behavior, and surface reconstruction, while adapting to alkaline, acidic, and seawater conditions.

European local authorities’ financial resilience in the face of austerity: a comparison across Austria, Italy and England [PDF]

, 2014
European local authorities have been particularly stricken by the current context of decline and cutback management, and represent an ideal place where to study how governments respond to shocks affecting their financial conditions and management.

An Integrated Framework Coupling Hierarchical Hyperspectral i‐trait Screening, Gene Identification, and Functional Validation for Genetic Dissection of Salt Tolerance in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated phenomics–genomics framework captures dynamic salt‐stress responses in laboratory‐grown cotton seedlings through time‐series hyperspectral imaging and non‐destructive i‐trait extraction. Hierarchical screening identifies biologically relevant, heritable, and non‐redundant traits for high‐resolution GWAS, identifying GhST7.

Intelligent Polymer Electrolytes for Next‐Generation Zinc‐Based Energy Storage Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Intelligent polymer electrolytes are organized into a three‐level hierarchy that advances zinc‐based energy storage from passive ion conduction toward active, adaptive, and intelligent operation. Molecular regulation of Zn+ coordination, water activity, desolvation, ion flux, and interfaces underpins adaptive self‐healing, anti‐freezing, adhesion, and ...
