Mainstreaming Wood in Construction: A Holistic Approach
The building sector is one of the highest CO2 emitters, and thanks to modern technologies, using more sustainable construction materials can help deliver net-zero emissions as well as good housing. Using timber would not only increase carbon storage in our buildings, but would also avoid the CO2 emissions of conventional building materials such as concrete - which is still the default.

Modeling the impact of environmental consciousness on the supply-demand relationship between firms and customers
The study models the impact of environmental consciousness on the supply-demand relationship between firms and customers. Environmental consciousness can lead to supply-demand deficits, but customers forming unconditional supply links and firms improving their environmental-friendly production can mitigate these deficits. The results show that this approach can inform policies to reduce both supply-demand deficits and environmental pollution.

Consensus from group interactions: An adaptive voter model on hypergraphs
The researchers studied how group interactions affect the emergence of consensus in a spin system. They found that group interactions amplify small initial opinion biases, accelerate the formation of consensus, and lead to a drift of the average magnetization. The model considers groups of agents represented by hyperedges of different sizes in a hypergraph. The heterogeneity of group sizes is controlled by a parameter β. The study aims to understand the impact of β on reaching consensus. The researchers used computer simulations and an analytic approach to study the dynamics of the average magnetization.
