    • Aspiring to a better future: Can a simple psychological intervention reduce poverty? 

      Orkin, K; Garlick, R; Mahmud, M; et al. (Oxford University Press, 2025)
      Do higher aspirations for the future motivate people living in poverty to make long-term investments? Do their aspirations increase when economic conditions improve? To answer these questions, we run a 415-village field ...

    • Temperature sensitivity, mispricing, and predictable returns 

      Cuculiza, C; Kumar, A; Xin, W; et al. (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2025)
      We examine the relation between temperature changes and firm performance using a novel time-varying measure of firm-level temperature sensitivity. We find that firms with higher temperature sensitivity have lower future ...

    • Designer gapped and tilted Dirac cones in lateral graphene superlattices 

      Wild, A; Hartmann, RR; Mariani, E; et al. (AIP Publishing, 14 April 2025)
      We show that a planar array of bipolar waveguides in graphene can be used to engineer gapped and tilted two-dimensional Dirac cones within the electronic band structure. The presence of these gapped and tilted Dirac cones ...

    • Recognising and protecting the national benefit of sustainable fisheries in the UK 

      Coulthard, S; Hatt, A; Lewis, P; et al. (Wiley, 10 April 2025)
      Sustainable commercial fishing makes valuable contributions to coastal regions and broader national benefits. This paper offers three arguments in relation to what is required for the societal benefits of sustainable ...

    • Functional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests 

      ter Steege, H; Poorter, L; Aguirre-Gutiérrez, J; et al. (Nature Research, 3 March 2025)
      Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, ...
