Modelling global diffusion. [PDF]

This paper presents a general model of global diffusion processes. The approach recognizes 'breadth' and 'depth' of adoption by first considering the sequential introduction of the innovation across countries (breadth).

Success factors and scaling constraints of institutional innovations

π-Economy
Countries are diversifying their payments, and this is a global trend. This article examines (as an institutional innovation project) a unique mechanism that enables participants in foreign economic activity to make payments in their national currencies —

Thermal Cycle–Microstructure–Property Relationships in Rail Steel Heat‐Affected Zone Simulated by Gleeble

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microstructural evolution of premium rail steel during flash butt welding (FBW), comparing physically simulated heat‐affected zones with actual weld regions. Thermal cycles induce phase transformations and microstructural heterogeneity that influence weld quality and mechanical performance. These findings provide insights into optimizing FBW parameters

Adopters as a Scarce Resource: A Chemostat-like Approach to Single-Technology Diffusion

Systems
This paper models innovation diffusion trajectories within capacity-limited market niches. To overcome the structural limitations of classical phenomenological frameworks (Bass, Gompertz, and Mansfield models)—namely, rigidly fixed trajectory asymmetry ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effects of innovation diffusion on the development level for some European regions in the expansion period of the European Union [PDF]

It is argued that innovation diffusion, in other words the movement of the new ideas or articrafts within an area over a number of time periods could become widespread once introduced in the area.

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Toward a new AI winter? How diffusion of technological innovation on networks leads to chaotic boom-bust cycles

Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence
Technological developments and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) are omnipresent themes and concerns of the present day. Much has been written on these topics but applications of quantitative models to understand the techno-social landscape have

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...
