Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift
