The global, regional, and national burden attributable to low bone mineral density, 1990–2020: an analysis of a modifiable risk factor from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

open access: yes
BACKGROUND: Fractures related to osteoporosis and low bone mineral density lead to substantial morbidity, mortality, and cost to individuals and health systems.

[Assessment of urban location factors from remote sensing] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Highly-dynamic, explosively and unmanageably growing megacities arise throughout the world. This rapid alteration within the urban environment often results in a lack of reasonable information for city planning, risk management or site selection.

Decoding Viral Transmission Dynamics in Structured Populations Using a Microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip experimentally recreates structured contact networks to quantify viral transmission dynamics. By controlling susceptible, infected, and non‐susceptible populations, the platform reveals how contact topology governs the reproduction number, outbreak propagation, herd‐immunity–like behavior, and intervention ...

Mapping Urbanization Dynamics in Major Cities of Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Bolivia Using Night-Time Satellite Imagery

open access: yesLand, 2013
By 2050, 90% of the population in Latin America will live in cities, but there is a lack of up-to-date spatial information about the urban extent and patterns of urbanization in cities of this region.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Synthesis‐Dependent Grain Boundary Density Governs Low‐Temperature Lithium Diffusion in Single‐Crystal NCM Cathodes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The relationship between synthesis‐dependent crystallization behavior, internal grain‐boundary density, and intrinsic lithium diffusion kinetics in single‐crystal mid‐Ni NCM cathodes is elucidated, providing practical design insights for advanced cathode materials.

Urban patterns, population density and optimal city dimension: The case of public infrastructure [PDF]

open access: yes
Determination of the optimal city size underlies the economic rationality of infrastructure provision by local governments. We investigate the existence of decreasing average costs resulting from economies of scale, associated with larger urban ...

The density debate in urban research : an alternative approach to representing urban structure and form

open access: yes, 2014
Global aspirations for urban sustainability coincide with debate over urban form. Much of the debate centres on the merit of increasing residential densities across metropolitan areas. We argue that this focus on density is problematic.

Autonomous Solar Metallurgy for High‐Purity Gold Recovery from Electronic Waste

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by microbial strategies for metal uptake and biomineralization, defect‐rich copper sulfide (Cu31S16) functions as a solar metallurgical platform that unifies Au(III) capture, reduction, and self‐separation. The bioinspired design enables ultrafast gold recovery from electronic‐waste leachates and the spontaneous formation of millimeter‐scale ...

Polydopamine‐Wool Textiles for Sustainable Interfacial Solar Vapor Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural wool textile engineered for high solar absorbance and a fast‐wicking structure serves as a highly efficient, single‐layer system for interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG). This integrated evaporator seamlessly couples rapid water transport with continuous evaporation. Ultimately, this sustainable photothermal design offers a scalable, eco‐
