Compound soft power: the BRICS and the multilateralization of soft power
Journal of Political Power, 2016 This article offers a complementary analysis to the prevailing literature on soft power by addressing the issue of multilateral soft power. While the prevailing literature on soft power tends to look at how soft power manifests itself within individual nations, this article attempts to analyze the manifestations of collective soft power in the vehicle ...

The Practice of Soft Power [PDF]
Religions, 2022 Turkey exerts significant influence over Balkans Muslims. While some of this has to do with Turkey’s military and economic power, much relates to their shared religiosity and common history. Some may characterize this as “soft power”; however, this term struggles to completely explain these dynamics.

Magnetic Array Assisted Triboelectric Nanogenerator Sensor for Real-Time Gesture Interaction
Nano-Micro Letters, 2021 In human-machine interaction, robotic hands are useful in many scenarios. To operate robotic hands via gestures instead of handles will greatly improve the convenience and intuition of human-machine interaction. Here, we present a magnetic array assisted

Record volumetric activities of oxygen electroreduction in partly packing graphene/AgTCNQ electrodes
Carbon Trends, 2023 Volumetric activity is the key to success in many space-constrained electrochemical devices. However, the state-of-the-art volumetric activities for oxygen electroreduction to hydrogen peroxide only achieve up to 30.8 mg cm−3 h−1. This is attributable to

Bioinspired inhibition of aggregation in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
iScience, 2023 Summary: Different from traditional procedures of using solid stabilizers like polymers and surfactants, here we demonstrate that water, as a very “soft” matter, could function as a “spacer” to prevent the aggregation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs ...
