Low‐Cost Ambient Pressure Drying Approach for Highly Porous Nanomaterial Structures

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We propose a simple, low‐cost method to dry highly porous nanomaterial structures at ambient temperature and pressure. Using low surface tension solvents, this technique minimizes capillary forces, preventing pore collapse and material shrinkage. This bypasses the need for expensive and size‐limiting critical point drying, enabling scalable production ...

What Program for Love in the 21st Century? Thinking With and Beyond Luhmann

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From a sociological perspective, the paper examines how normative frameworks for intimate relationships have changed since the publication of Luhmann's Love as Passion (1982). Building on Luhmann's notion of a program for love, we discuss his claim that late 20th century love semantics were organized around a program of understanding. We argue
