Creating a Solar-Powered Drip Irrigation Optimal Performance model (SDrOP) to lower the cost of drip irrigation systems for smallholder farmers by Grant, Fiona, Sheline, Carolyn, Sokol, Julia, Amrose, Susan, Brownell, Elizabeth, Nangia, Vinay, Winter, Amos G.

“…Solar-powered drip irrigation has the potential to increase crop productivity for minimal water use, but these systems are prohibitively expensive for smallholders. Reducing the life cycle cost (LCC) of solar-powered drip irrigation systems could make this technology more accessible, enabling smallholders to increase their household incomes and contribute to greater global food security. …”

Textile Macroelectronics: Architecting Sensate and Computational Fabrics across Scales by Wicaksono, Irmandy

“…Finally, through these collective and complementary efforts, I aim to demonstrate an ecosystem of fabric artifacts that will lead us toward an Electronic Textile Gaia—a vision where sensing and intelligence are seamlessly interconnected and integrated into the fabric of everyday life, from in-body, on-body, room-scale, to architectural textiles, for applications ranging from physiological and physical activity monitoring to interactive media and built environments.…”

Ultralow threshold optical gain enabled by quantum rings of inverted type-I CdS/CdSe core/crown nanoplatelets in the blue by Delikanli, Savas, Isik, Furkan, Shabani, Farzan, Baruj, Hamed Dehghanpour, Taghipour, Nima, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…Achieving low-threshold optical gain for solution-processed materials is crucial for their real-life applications and deployment as gain media. However, the realization of low gain threshold in the blue region has shown to be technically an extremely challenging task using colloidal nanocrystals as a result of fast nonradiative Auger rates in smaller nanocrystals. …”
