Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

How do energy firms respond to climate risks? Theoretical framework and empirical evidence from Chinese listed energy firms

open access: yesInternational Review of Economics & Finance
Climate change-induced risks have become an important factor shaping corporate investment behavior. We develop a theoretical model and employ text-based measures of climate transition and physical risks to investigate how these risks influence the ...

Internalizing externalities of loss-prevention through insurance monopoly: An analysis of interdependent risks [PDF]

open access: yes
When risks are interdependent, loss-prevention activities of one agent influence the risks faced by others. The social return to an investment in loss-prevention is greater than the private return.

Timing Mechanotransduction: Mechanically Dynamic Biomaterials Reveal the Temporal Hierarchy of YAP/TAZ Control Nodes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops dynamically softening polyacrylamide hydrogels for time‐resolved imaging during continuous mechanical transitions. The study revealed that mechanotransduction is biphasic; YAP/TAZ inactivation is driven by early loss of the nucleocytoskeletal continuum connecting subnuclear adhesions, F‐actin, and the nuclear envelope, coupled with ...

Foreign Direct Investment, Financial Development and Political Risks [PDF]

open access: yes
Financial development is definitely a determinant of the extent of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow into an economy. Yet, the contribution of financial development (FD) can be dependent on the political situation of the recipient nation.

Influence of adjacent insured risks upon the management of insurance companies [PDF]

open access: yes
Besides technical and investment risks, other risks can be identified, with own traits and implications that cannot be ignored. We speak about the risk of participation, the risk regarding guarantees in favor of tertiary, risk regarding loss because of ...

Climate Action Impacts on Steelmaking Emissions of Persistent Organic Pollutants Highlight a Gap Between the Paris Agreement and the Stockholm Convention

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Emissions of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UPOPs) and global warming are two major environmental challenges. But their governance has largely evolved in parallel, leaving the toxicity implications of climate‐driven industrial transitions poorly understood.
