Voting and Nonlinear Taxes in a Stylized Representative Democracy [PDF]
We derive median-voter results and study the shape of redistributional taxes when voters elect a candidate who imposes taxes to maximize own utility. Under general conditions, a median-productivity candidate is a Condorcet winner.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.The ultraselective H2S detection of the ZIF‐L/SnS2 heterostructure is demonstrated. The introduction of 2‐dimensional (2D) breathable ZIF‐L results in a substantial increase in H2S selectivity attributable to the molecular sieving effect, which impedes the permeation of gases with large kinetic diameters and high polarity.

Achieving Large and Anisotropic Spin‐Mediated Thermal Transport in Textured Quantum Magnets
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.An advanced solvent‐cast cold pressing method is developed to synthesize highly textured quantum magnets. By aligning spin chains in Ca2CuO3 perpendicular to the pressing direction, a spin‐mediated thermal conductivity of 10 ± 1 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ is achieved, the highest reported for polycrystalline quantum materials.
