Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

Future meat consumption: potential greenhouse gas emissions from meat production in Malaysia [PDF]
This study shows that there is mounting meat consumption which is to be met by higher meat production. As the result, higher gas emission of CO2 is expected from increasing meat production.

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.This study investigates high‐efficiency double perovskite active layer (DPAL) structures using MAPbI3 and MASnI3 to surpass the Shockley‐Queisser limit in single‐junction perovskite solar cells. SCAPS‐1D simulations show that the V2O5‐assisted DPAL device achieves 34.14% power conversion efficiency with improved JSC, VOC, and FF.

DECISION MAKING UNDER CATASTROPHIC RISK AND LEARNING: THE CASE OF THE POSSIBLE COLLAPSE OF THE WEST ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET [PDF]
A collapse of the West-Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) would cause a sea level rise of 5-6 metres, perhaps even within one hundred years, with catastrophic consequences.

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Factor Module: Land Use in Rural New Zealand - Climate Version 1 [PDF]
Several different New Zealand economic models produce measures of rural economic activity that have greenhouse gas implications. For climate change analysis, models need to translate economic activity into greenhouse gas emissions.
