In this third episode of the podcast Nic and Rebecca invite Jens Hoeijmakers to the mic and chat to him about ultra-hot Jupiters and their atmospheres. Thereafter they take a closer look at a comet, which is named after the its two discoverers: Michel Giacobini and Ernst Zinner.
Laminin, a critical component of the basement membrane, plays an indispensable role in numerous biological processes. Among its subunits, laminin γ2 (LAMC2) emerges as a key player in the progression of cancer. This review delves into the current understanding of LAMC2′s role, highlighting its significant contribution to cancer development through promoting cell proliferation, invasion, and
Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly recognized as a critical issue in coastal environments, where complex interactions between ocean currents, winds, waves, and human activities govern the transport and deposition of synthetic particles. Although previous studies in Asia have documented MPs accumulation linked to riverine discharge, tourism pressures, and monsoonal circulation, limited wor
As Nature Aging celebrates its fifth anniversary, the journal asks some of the researchers who contributed to the journal early on to reflect on the past and the future of aging and age-related disease research, the impact of the field on human health now and in the future, and what challenges need to be addressed to ensure sustained progress. © Springer Nature America, Inc. 2026.
T.M. Scanlon’s version of contractualism has emerged as one of the most well-developed challengers to consequentialism. According to one of contractualism’s most appealing features—the Individualist Restriction—the justifiability of our actions depends solely on the personal reasons of single individuals. While it allows contractualism to avoid many of consequentialism’s most implausible implicati
AIOLIA deliverable 2.2 contains a selection of ethical principles and values in relation to the use cases and research areas in the project (see section “Selection tables”). The selection of the most relevant principles is in relation to use cases from EU partners. International partners were tasked to select the ethical principles in relation to their own use cases, drawing upon either domestic i
Spin crossover (SCO) complexes are highly promising candidates for a myriad of potential applications in room-temperature electronics; however, as it stands, establishing a clear connection between their spin-state switching and transport properties has been far from trivial. In this perspective, an effort to unravel the underlying charge transport mechanism in these SCO complexes, via a general t
The adsorption of p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) on the anatase TiO2(101) surface has been investigated using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy, near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT). Photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the molecule is adsorbed in a bidentate mode through the carboxyl group following deprotonation. NEX
We investigate the relationship between market power and risk for a large panel of banks worldwide. Loan and deposit market power are measured separately at bank-year level, and the risk effect of market power is conditioned on several factors predicted by theory. Both loan and deposit market power have a stable, monotonically negative effect on risk, irrespective of risk measure. The effect is la
This study examined driver failure and traffic conflict using a driving simulator during lane-change scenarios on a 2+1 road, focusing on differences between day and night conditions. Data on driver failure status and driving behavior were captured through a survey. The study also evaluated driver performance and electrodermal activity. The findings revealed that nighttime lane changes had a short

This paper analyses the role of regional context on innovation persistency of firms. Using the Community Innovation Survey in Sweden, we have traced firms' innovative behaviour from 2002 to 2012, in terms of four Schumpeterian types of innovation: product, process, organizational, and marketing. Controlling for an extensive set of firm-level characteristics, we find that certain regional character
A hydraulic system is designed to transport fluid power over large distances, from pumps to actuators where the fluid power is transformed to mechanical power. The submarines, built and designed by Saab Kockums, utilises such systems. There are, however, challenges as the hydraulic pumps consume much energy, and the system accumulators command significant space. As both energy and space are limite
Immigration and its impact on education is a highly discussed and debated topic. Particularly, regarding how the presence of immigrant students influences academic performance, labor market outcomes and integration into the host country. This paper investigates the impact of immigrant students on the educational outcome of their peers in Australian schools. We use data from the PISA surveys for th
In the framework of this thesis, the optimization of the etching process of GaN for FinFET applications has been investigated. FinFETs are transistors with a vertical architecture in the shape of fins. These fins are fabricated by etching a pattern into a GaN substrate. The etching is carried out in two steps, a dry etch and a wet etch. In this thesis, these etching steps have been carried out whi
