The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Do Single‐Sex STEM Programs Have Merit? If So, for Whom, on What Measures?

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single‐sex STEM programs—defined here as voluntary, gender‐segregated extracurricular or supplemental activities (e.g., summer camps, workshops, robotics clubs, internships, or citizen science initiatives)—have experienced heightened popularity and scrutiny amid efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.

Toward Sustainable Healthcare: Examining ESG‐Readiness in Austrian Regional State‐Owned Hospitals

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues is now an essential part of responsible corporate governance, including in the healthcare sector. This study investigates the ESG reporting practices of Austrian regional state‐owned hospitals (rSOHs), contributing to the growing sustainability literature. Thirteen interviews with

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

High‐Speed Rail and Spatial Equity: Unpacking the Sustainability Paradox of Land Use and Fiscal Pressure in County‐Level Cities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

Application of Ag‐Enriched Nanostructures Through Ga+ Irradiation of Silver Butyrate Films in Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
We report a direct‐writing method for patterning silver‐enriched nanostructures with dual functionality: High electrical conductivity, with a resistivity of 95 µΩ·cm, and strong SERS activity, achieving enhancement factors exceeding 107. This approach enables an easy and cost‐effective alternative for the production of microstructures with applications
