Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...
