Budget Punctuations in Czech Local Government

Central European Public Administration Review
Purpose: This paper aims to identify which phases of the budgetary process are, according to the predictions of punctuated equilibrium theory, more prone to punctuations; to determine the factors influencing the occurrence of punctuations in these phases; and to test these assumptions using Czech regional data from 2005 to 2023.Design/methodology ...

Space‐Time Coding Conformal Metasurfaces for Multifrequency Beam Steering and Shaping

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Space‐time coding conformal metasurfaces enable dynamic wave control on curved surfaces by combining programmable spatial patterns with temporal modulation. This study shows that a single conformal aperture can independently manipulate multiple frequency components, achieving multifunctional beam shaping and steering, with implications for ...

Electrically Coded Retinomorphic Spectrophotodetector

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐powered retinomorphic pyro‐photodetector is demonstrated that avoids machine‐learning post‐processing and covers 365–940 nm. Electrostatic balancing of built‐in potential produces an electrical wavelength code, delivering <3 nm wavelength decoding accuracy with ∼46 µs response.

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

A Universal van der Waals Tunneling Injector for Monolayer CMOS

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A universal van der Waals injector unlocks polarity‐flexible tunneling contacts for monolayer CMOS. SnSe2, an intrinsically degenerate 2D semiconductor, establishes polarity‐specific band alignments with both WSe2 and MoS2 channels, enabling steep switching, high on/off ratios, and a unified route to low‐power 2D logic.
