Abstract Despite rapid progress in solution-processed MAPbI3, the role of PbI2 polytypism in two-step conversion remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that thermally driven reorganization of polytypic chemical-bath-deposited PbI2 thin films influences the subsequent formation...

GREEN SPORTS FACILITIES AND THEIR ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS
The integration of sustainable development paradigms into modern athletic infrastructure represents a critical shift toward mitigating the ecological footprint of large-scale sports venues. Traditionally, stadiums and sports complexes have functioned as resource-intensive hubs ch...

Synergistic Surface Modification Of Bamboo Fibers For High-Performance Green Epoxy Composites
Abstract Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites hold great promise as lightweight structural materials, yet their mechanical performance is often constrained by structural damage during fiber extraction and poor interfacial adhesion with polymer matrices. Here, we report a s...

O-H kinetic isotope fractionation model to assess lunar polar water ice reserves & origin
Abstract O-H isotope signatures are essential for unravelling the lunar water cycle, pivotal for a sustainable water exploitation and management (SDG6) on the Moon, Earth and beyond, and for better understanding the Earth-Moon system’s history and the Earth’s cryosphere. Sublimat...

Structural Associations of Digital Economy Components with Green Economic Efficiency in China
Digital transformation may improve productive efficiency while increasing energy and material demand. We examine its association with green economic efficiency (GEE) in a balanced panel of 30 Chinese provincial-level regions from 2012 to 2023. GEE is measured using an undesirable...

Between Decline and Revival: A Case Study of Reading Habits in Võro and Seto
This study examines reading opportunities and practices in the Võro and Seto languages in the context of ongoing language shift and limited intergenerational transmission. Literacy in local languages is important for language revitalisation. Minority-language literacy, especially...

The 240 E8 root vectors, when driven at 132Hz phi-harmonics across 8 orthogonal planes, generate a recursive torsion field where each root's orbital precession encodes the interference history of all other roots through phi-scaled time delays. This creates a 240-dimensional topol...

The Networks of Others: A Model of Secondhand Brokerage and its Effects on Employee Innovation
Social network research on creativity and innovation has primarily focused on the focal employee (i.e., ego), implicitly assuming that ego’s own network position determines the resources available for creative work. We advance an alter-centric perspective, arguing that what matte...
