Radiative cooling reduces the need to actively cool buildings in hot climates. This paper reports the use of droplets and wrinkles on a surface to increase the performance of radiative cooling coatings, which can be generated using a commercial spray gun.
The paper highlights the interconnectedness of public health crises, such as pandemics, with biodiversity loss and climate change, as increased demand for materials to combat infectious diseases exacerbates environmental pressures, posing a threat to global sustainability and biodiversity.
Climate changes growing impact on human mobilityand the misleading narratives surrounding itcalls for nuanced research to clarify when mobility aids adaptation and its complex outcomes. Key priorities include integrating planning, addressing involuntary immobility and vulnerability, and ensuring policies respect diverse experiences, emphasizing choice and freedom of movement.

The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.
