To invest or not to invest the business Angel´s dilemma
Journal of Innovation & KnowledgeBusiness Angels (BAs) are pivotal in early-stage funding for entrepreneurship. This study explores the factors influencing BA investment decisions. We propose a theoretical model based on signaling theory to assess the impact of signals about the quality of entrepreneurs and projects on investment assessments and decisions.

Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

Chinese investments in the EU [PDF]
China’s investments in the European Union are much lower than what you may expect given the economic size of both entities. These relatively low investments in Europe are a combination of priority and obstacles. The priority for investments is clearly in

Gate‐Induced Critical Current Modulation in W–C Nanowires: The Role of Fabrication
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Focused ion beam induced deposition (FIBID) enables precise control of superconducting W–C nanowire devices. Introducing a Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) cleaning step reduces substrate damage and suppresses leakage currents, shifting gating thresholds to higher voltages.

"Pricing and Investments in Matching Markets",Second Version [PDF]
Different markets are cleared by different types of prices---seller-specific prices that are uniform across buyers in some markets, and personalized prices tailored to the buyer in others. We examine a setting in which buyers and sellers make investments

Influencing investments and 'bad' investments
New Perspectives on Political Economy, 2005 The paper presents the theory of investment in the context with the Austrian theory of the trade cycle. The cycles are caused by interference with the natural rate of interest. They start with an increase in money supply through credit expansion. Firms use the money to finance capital goods (or consumers to finance consumption goods).

Upscaling Pulsed Laser Fragmentation in Liquids by Advanced Free‐Flow Setups
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Advanced flow setups providing thin colloid films are introduced to upscale pulsed laser fragmentation in liquids for sustainable nanoparticle synthesis. Their potential is demonstrated by yielding remarkably small ZnO nanoparticles of <7 nm. Numerical simulations complement the study, revealing that the superior performance can be attributed to ...
