The development of high-energy density solid-state batteries is critical for the achievement of carbon neutrality goals and the advancement of clean energy. Still, the fundamental understanding of lithium transport mechanisms and degradation processes remains limited. Current characterisation methods face significant challenges in studying these complex systems, particularly due to the difficulty
In the pursuit of CO₂-neutral renewable energy solutions, biofuels have emerged as one of the key strategies. However, biodiesel production generates a surplus of crude glycerol (GL), creating a need for efficient valorization pathways. The conversion of GL into value-added chemicals represents a sustainable approach to address this issue. Metal nanoclusters (NCats) embedded within metal-organic f
Background and Aim. Economic, demographic, and other societal fluctuations leave many buildings vacant due to locational obsolescence. Maximizing the use of existing buildings would foster a shift toward circularity and resource efficiency. This paper explores two lesser known, creative circular strategies for asset and facility management.Methods and Data. Employing futures studies methods, we im
Independence and collaboration both play crucial roles in PhD students’ research practice and in their socialization into the PhD role. This study examines how theexpectation of PhD students' academic independence intersects with the need for more collaborative engagements within research groups. Drawing on interviews with supervisors and an analysis of co-authorship patterns in PhD studentdissert
We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that underLearning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weaklyautomate TC0-Frege. This extends the line of results of Krajííček and Pudlík(Information and Computation, 1998), Bonet, Pitassi, and Raz (SIAM Journal on Computing, 2000),and Bonet
Policy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU. To stimulate economic growth, the EU also plans for freight transport activity to grow significantly over the coming decades. In this paper, drawing on critical discourse analysis and Marxian geographical thought, I show how the argument for implementing sustainable freight is constructed in EU fPolicy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU.

Transgressive learning has gained scholarly interest as a way of enabling learners to question and defy norms that perpetuate unsustainability. However, transgression can also be risky and calls for responsible teaching able to identify and prevent such risks. This paper asks How transgressive learning can be responsibly integrated into sustainability pedagogy. It clarifies these risks of transgre
BACKGROUND: Most COVID-19-related deaths and hospitalisations occurred among older people. Natural outdoor environments influence health outcomes, but the evidence of their effect on COVID-19 outcomes among older adults is limited. This study aimed to investigate associations between residential natural outdoor environment and COVID-19-related deaths or hospitalisations among community dwellers ag
This article distills the vast literature on Common Correlated Effects (CCE), initiated by the seminal contribution of Pesaran (2006), into five practical lessons. We provide a concise overview of the CCE framework and describe the reasons for its popularity in empirical (macro-) panel data research. The lessons we draw focus on aspects that have received substantial methodological attention, but
Measurements of integrated and differential cross-sections for electroweak W±Z production in association with two jets (W±Zjj) in proton-proton collisions are presented. The data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The W±Zjj candidate events are recon
In the easternmost Sveconorwegian Province, field studies have shown that some intrusions remained largely unaffected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny. However, seemingly pristine gabbros locally display the incipient development of amphibolite amphibolite-facies mineral assemblages in microscale corona textures. The primary objective of this study is to document in detail the microtextures that occu
Hydrogen energy plays a pivotal role in the sustainable energy transition. Methanol steam reforming offers an efficient route for decentralized hydrogen production, yet catalyst limitations persist. This work employs entropy engineering to design lanthanide perovskite catalysts via sol-gel synthesis. Structural analyses reveal entropy-driven lattice distortion, enhanced disorder, and elevated oxyg
Lamniform sharks are amongst the largest-bodied extant fishes and have an evolutionary history spanning ~135 million years (Ma). Fossils correlate their initial development of mega-body size (≥ 6 m) with ecological radiation as marine top-predators during the later part of the mid-Cretaceous (after the late Albian, ~100 Ma). Here, we push back this earliest appearance of gigantic lamniforms by ~15
Background: Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest is neuroprotective in several animal models of cardiac arrest, but few high-quality studies have been conducted in larger animals. Recent clinical trials have questioned the beneficial effects of post-ischemic hypothermia. This study investigated whether immediate cooling or a 2-h delay in cooling to 33 °C after cardiac arrest was neuroprotectiv
We propose a novel class of dark matter (DM) candidates in the form of a heavy composite axionlike particle (ALP) with highly suppressed electromagnetic interactions populating vast yet unexplored domains in the ALP parameter space. This is achieved for the first time in the simplest dark confining gauge theory yielding a new composite glueball ALP (GALP) DM coupling-mass relation found in terms o
