Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

High‐Titanium Zircon Rims in Rhyolite – A Reflection of Adiabatic Ascent?
Geological Journal, EarlyView.The ascent of granitic magma from source to emplacement is rapidly achieved through dyking, resulting in negligible heat loss to the surrounding wallrock (i.e., adiabatic). Zircon growth during ascent can record the changing magma conditions including adiabatic cooling and heating, resulting in high titanium rims on low titanium cores without ...

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.Atomic force microscopy enables precise evaluation of the magnitude and range of hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions. This primer presents a protocol for fluorocarbon functionalization of gold surfaces and examines how water: DMSO mixtures affect hydrophobic forces, with data interpreted through an extended van der Waals model.
