Epitaxially grown nanowires have shown promise for photovoltaic applications due to their nanophotonic properties. Moreover, the mechanical properties of nanowires can reduce crystallographic defect formation at interfaces to help enable new material combinations for photovoltaics. One material that stands to benefit from the nanowire morphology is zinc phosphide (Zn3P2), which, despite promising

This article explores how collaboration across Arctic borders has enabled the emergence of ultrasmall, Indigenous-led sectors, examining the development of Indigenous screen industries in Sápmi and Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). The Sámi film industry has experienced a notable rise, driven by strategic transnational collaborations and the establishment of institutions such as the International Sámi

The coherence factors of quasiparticles in a superconductor determine their properties, including transport as well as their susceptibility to electric fields. In this work, we propose a way to infer the local coherence factors using local transport to normal leads. Our method is based on measuring the local current through a lead as the coupling to a second one is varied; the shape of the current

Från sekelskiftet 1800 förlorade adeln sina privilegier allt eftersom. En viktig reform om lika arv för pojkar och flickor genomdrevs 1845 mot livliga protester från adelns sida. I riddarhusets debatter framstår adeln som en konservativ grupp, inriktad på att försvara sin position och hålla samman arvfallen egendom, primärt genom att gynna söner framför döttrar. Frågan är dock i vilken utsträcknin

This study explores systems for recognizing and rewarding teaching excellence in higher education, where engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is considered an important merit. Nearly a decade ago, Fanghanel et al. (2016) identified the underutilized potential of teaching recognition as an institutional tool. More recently, Graham (2025) has documented a transformation in u

A memlumor is an innovative neuromorphic luminescent device with a state-dependent photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) designed for optical neuromorphic computing applications. Metal halide perovskite memlumors leverage charge trapping and photodoping to modulate the PLQY, making it dependent on the excitation light history. Here, we demonstrate the ability of perovskite memlumors to classify t

AIM: To compare adverse outcomes in neonates born by planned vaginal birth to those born by planned caesarean section.METHOD: This retrospective cohort study analysed data from southern Sweden between 1995 and 2015, using the perinatal revision South Register. Only women with singleton, term (≥ 37 + 0 weeks) and cephalic presentation were included. Planned vaginal birth included all vaginal non-in

INTRODUCTION: Since the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise in caesarean sections (CS) throughout the world. This increase has been seen even in Europe, where rates vary significantly from 17% in Northern Europe to 56% in the South. Although, CS can be a lifesaving intervention when medically necessary, non-essential CS are associated with short- and long-term complications for both t

This paper discusses the conceptual relationship between strategic narratives and public diplomacy and its analytical possibilities. It argues that public diplomacy can be understood as a set of persuasive narrative practices; that strategic narratives are central to processes of identity formation necessary for persuasive and credible public diplomacy communication; and that the contestation of s

Robot failures in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), though often stemming from technical limitations, can have severe effects on the interactional dynamics between humans and robots. Prior empirical research has led to conflicting findings on how such failures influence user perceptions and the overall success of the interaction. In this study, we investigate how human participants respond to robot f

High-performance X-ray detectors are essential for 3D X-ray imaging in computed tomography (CT), but conventional systems require high radiation doses to achieve fine resolution. All-In-One (AIO) Cu(I) halide complexes, capable of forming both ionic and coordinate bonds within a single structure, offer efficient scintillation at lower doses, yet their performance remains limited by nonradiative en

The first edition of the comprehensive diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was completed in 2023 after more than 130 years of work. In 2024, a revision project was initiated with the aim of creating a more balanced dictionary by modernizing the content and addressing the major shortcomings. Tis paper discusses the revision process and the challenges encountered along the way,

Most scientific instruments currently discard rich streams of commands, data and metadata from which AI systems could learn to conduct experiments with expert-level decision-making and troubleshooting skills. Recording and using this data at scale requires rethinking what data to store, incentivizing large-scale cooperation, and determining how to quantify the reliability of such autonomous system
