From Emissions to Radiative Forcing: Rethinking Air Pollution Policies for Climate Accountability under SDG 13 [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The policies on air pollution have traditionally been based on the mass concentration of PM2.5 as the key indicator of the regulation, and this model was intended to support the issue of human health, rather than climate effects.

Epitaxially Integrated Electro‐Optic KNbO3 Thin Films on Silicon

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first epitaxial integration of electro‐optic KNbO3 thin films on silicon using suboxide molecular‐beam epitaxy. Combining adsorption‐controlled molecular‐beam epitaxy, advanced characterization, and phase‐field modeling, we demonstrate phase‐pure crystalline films mirroring bulk crystals with robust Pockels response, enabling future ...
