Mapping School Accessibility in Africa: High‐Resolution Spatial Analysis Uncovers Inequalities in Education Access

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Education is a cornerstone of sustainable development, yet large disparities in access persist across and within countries—particularly in Africa, where millions remain underserved. Among several factors influencing educational participation, physical accessibility to schools (in terms of travel time) is not comprehensively understood ...

Energy Poverty and Climate Shocks: Are Changing Weather Patterns Leaving South Africa in the Dark?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy and climate change are deeply interlinked, with the latter exerting significant influence on energy demand and supply. In regions such as South Africa, where socio‐economic vulnerability is high, understanding how climate change affects energy poverty is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 ...

Eco‐Initiatives and Commitment to the Equator Principles

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Equator Principles (EP) score is a performance code for financial institutions (FIs) based on their commitment to managing environmental issues in project financing. This study examines the impact of environmental initiatives on the adoption of the EP by 204 US financial firms (including banks, insurance companies, investment banks, asset ...

Effects of Development Finance on Energy Transitions and Green Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While global agendas promote energy transition and green growth, Africa south of the Sahara (SSA) struggles with low energy access, highlighting a development paradox between climate goals and energy poverty. By aligning aid and development finance with SDGs 7 and 13, we analyze whether development finance is at a crossroads in supporting ...

Inclusive Growth in Africa: Exploring Contingencies and Thresholds of Financial Development and the Digital Economy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the persistent inequalities and economic disparities, the quest for inclusive growth has become more critical. Nevertheless, a substantial knowledge gap exists regarding the role of the digital economy and financial development in inclusive growth.

Topotactic Nitridation Enabled Core–Shell La4Ti3(O,N)12@LaTiO2N for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Small, EarlyView.
Topotactic nitridation of (111)‐plane layered perovskite La4Ti3O12 proceeds through a persistent 2D layered oxynitride La4Ti3(O,N)12, enabling formation of a core–shell La4Ti3(O,N)12@LaTiO2N heterostructure before full conversion into 3D perovskite LaTiO2N.

Interplay Between Oxidation State, Intervalence Charge Transfer Transitions and Electronic Conductivity in a Series of Ru‐Based Metal–Organic Frameworks

Small, EarlyView.
Ru‐based square‐grid metal–organic frameworks undergo dramatic conductivity enhancements after chemical oxidation. The mixed‐valent states exhibit the highest conductivity values, which correlate with the appearance of intervalence charge transfer bands.

Tuning the Length of Filomicelles Prepared Via Templated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly

Small, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio polymeric micelles are attractive yet notoriously difficult to control in length. We reveal a counterintuitive and powerful solution: in supramolecularly templated PISA, adding non‐sticker polymer unexpectedly elongates the micelles, while post‐assembly sonication enables precise shortening with reduced dispersity.

The Fierce Morphological Battle of Silver Nanoparticles: How Irregularities, Vacancies and Defects Tip the Crossing Sizes

Small, EarlyView.
The silver nanoparticle morphologies are identified thanks to ab initio models, including original families of defects and complex motifs, compared to measurements provided at targeted sizes (309, 561, 742, and 923 atoms). The crossings between structures to within a few atoms have been predicted due to very accurate computational conditions, which are

Fractionation‐Free Protein Corona Quantification Through Synchrotron‐Based Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A fractionation‐free SAXS approach quantifies protein corona formation on silica nanoparticles under native conditions. By deconvoluting scattering from free and bound proteins, adsorbed mass is directly determined in simple and complex media. The method resolves adsorption regimes and thermodynamics, establishing non‐invasive, in situ characterization
