Urban sustainability [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1999
A new study indicates that while the world's cities take up 2% of the Earth's surface, they account for about 78% of the carbon emissions from human activities, 76% of industrial wood use, and 60% of the water tapped for use by people.“These figures suggest that the struggle to achieve an environmentally sustainable economy will be won or lost in the ...

Development of Multifunctional Hierarchically Restructured Antibacterial Neural Interfacing Electrodes via Plasma‐Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation implantable neural‐interfacing devices are increasingly constrained by the coupled demands of electrode miniaturization, electrochemical performance, and implantation infection risk. Femtosecond laser–based hierarchical surface restructuring (HSR) technology has emerged as a scalable, manufacturing‐compatible platform for ...
