Effect of the crystallization conditions on the exclusion/inclusion balance in biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene adipate) copolymers
(ACS, 2020-07-14)Biomedical applications of polymers require precise control of the solid-state structure, which is of particular interest for biodegradable copolymers. In this work, we evaluated the influence of crystallization conditions ... -
Effect of the valence state on the band magnetocrystalline anisotropy in two-dimensional rare-earth/noble-metal compounds
(American Physical Society, 2022)[EN] In intermetallic compounds with zero orbital momentum (L = 0) the magnetic anisotropy and the electronic band structure are interconnected. Here, we investigate this connection in divalent Eu and trivalent Gd intermetallic ... -
Effectiveness of monetary information in promoting the purchase of energy-efficient appliances: Evidence from a field experiment in Spain
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2023)The effectiveness of energy labels is crucial in nudging the adoption of energy-efficient products. Here we analyse how providing monetary information on the cost of energy affects the purchases of energy-efficient appliances. ... -
Effects of historical land-use change in the Mediterranean environment
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020-08-25)During the Holocene (last ~11,700 years), societies have continuously modified the landscape of the Mediterranean Basin through changes in land-use, exerting extraordinary pressures onto the environment and adding variability ... -
Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow ... -
Elastic and Thermoreversible Iongels by Supramolecular PVA/Phenol Interactions
(Wiley, 2020-06-28)Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with ... -
Electrical Percolation in Extrinsically Conducting, Poly(εpsilon-Decalactone) Composite Neural Interface Materials
(Nature, 2021-01-14)By providing a bidirectional communication channel between neural tissues and a biomedical device, it is envisaged that neural interfaces will be fundamental in the future diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. ... -
Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-24)The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of ... -
Electronic Decoupling of Polyacenes from the Underlying Metal Substrate bysp(3)Carbon Atoms
(Nature, 2020-09-15)Many organic molecules exhibit interesting electronic and magnetic properties, but as they are deposited onto a metallic substrate, their hybridisation often impacts on the observed characteristics. Here, the authors report ... -
Elevated CO2 did not affect the hydrological balance of a mature native Eucalyptus woodland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCa) might reduce forest water-use, due to decreased transpiration, following partial stomatal closure, thus enhancing water-use efficiency and productivity at low water availability. ... -
Elucidating the Facet-dependent Selectivity for CO2 Electroreduction to Ethanol of Cu-Ag Tandem Catalysts
(ACS, 2021-04-07)Despite being desirable high-value products of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), alcohols are still obtained with lower selectivity compared to hydrocarbons and the reaction pathways leading to their ... -
Emergence of new knowledge for climate change adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)Decision-making for climate change adaptation requires an integrated and cross-sectoral approach to adequately capture the complexity of interconnected systems. More meaningful decisions can be taken in an arena where ... -
