The transition towards decarbonized and efficient energy systems has broad socio-economic implications. We estimate the potential impacts on employment from efforts in energy efficiency in industry, transport and buildings as well as substituting local ren ...
A promising pathway to follow in order to reach sustainable development goals is
an increased reliance on renewable sources of energy. The optimized use of these energy sources,
however, requires the assessment of their potential supply, along with the dem ...
Since the adoption of the "Energy Strategy 2050" by the Federal Council in 2017, Switzerland has been looking for new energy alternatives to the nuclear sector and ways to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, in particular by promoting the development of r ...
Purpose This paper aims to discuss the nexus between two societal (sub) systems of housing and energy supply to shed new light on the key institutional barriers to socio-technical energy transition in the built environment. The key research question is to ...
Mechanically interlocked molecules are likely candidates for the design and synthesis of artificial molecular machines. Although polyrotaxanes have already found niche applications in exotic materials with specialized mechanical properties, efficient synth ...
When labour unions use first-best price discrimination, they can extract a wage above the marginal product of labour: employment is above the firm's own optimum - this is featherbedding or overmanning, and such rigidities can increase employment. While lab ...
Food consumption in Europe is associated with increasing health- and environmental impacts and innovative interventions for healthy and sustainable eating are needed throughout the continent. These interventions need to be based on a solid, holistic unders ...
The need to satisfy the growing global population's enormous energy demands is a major challenge for modern societies. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting (WS) is seen as a leading strategy for producing an extremely promising renewable store of ene ...
To foster healthier and more sustainable eating habits, we need to better understand causes of dietary change on the individual level. This includes differentiating the factors that trigger good versus bad dietary change with regards to health and environm ...
We propose an ultra-low power (ULP) Image Signal Processor (ISP) that performs on-the-fly in-processing frame (de)compression and hierarchical event recognition to exploit the temporal and spatial sparsity in an image sequence to achieve a 16× imaging syst ...
