Synthesis strategy and microstructure analysisWe previously demonstrated that piezoelectric polymer membranes based on single metal atoms are effective by anchoring isolated calcium (Ca) atoms onto nitrogen-doped carbon and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites [12]. Drawing on this prior research, we designed and improved the process to synthesize CaCN.ZIF-8 coated Ca (Ca/ZIF-8) was prepared via a hydrothermal method, followed by calcination to manufacture CaCN (Supplementary Fig. 1). Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, calcium chloride, and dimethylimidazole were used as raw materials, and synthesis was carried out using a hydrothermal method in methanol, followed by carbonization. Then, acid etching was performed to not only remove residual…

As a product builder over too many years to mention, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen promising ideas go from zero to hero in a few weeks, only to fizzle out within months. Article Continues Below Financial products, which is the field I work in, are no exception. With people’s real hard-earned money on the line, user expectations running high, and a crowded market, it’s tempting to throw as many features at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. But this approach is a recipe for disaster. Here’s why: The pitfalls of feature-first development#section2 When…

Self-organizing / self-managing teams are a cornerstone of agile project management but they’re often misunderstood. Many mistakenly believe these agile teams operate without structure or guidance. Nothing could be further from the truth. This article explores what self-organizing teams are, how leaders can support them effectively, and the powerful outcomes that emerge from self-organizing teams. What Are Self-Organizing Teams? A self-organizing (aka self-managing) team is one that has the ability and autonomy to determine how best to accomplish its work within the boundaries and constraints put in place by its leaders. Self-organization doesn’t mean the team is unmanaged or anarchic;…

If you’re looking for updates on Starlink’s expansion, you need to know how this satellite broadband provider is making rapid inroads in Oceania.

Your organization is already hiring digital workers. Now, the question is whether IT is actually managing these “people-like” systems as part of the workforce, or as just another application in the tech stack. Far from just another AI tool, AI agents are becoming digital coworkers that need the same lifecycle management as human employees: onboarding, supervision, performance reviews, and eventually, responsible decommissioning. Many companies are already deploying agents to handle customer inquiries, process invoices, and make recommendations. The mistake is treating agents like software instead of managing them like team members. IT is the natural leader to take on this…

Smart Data Collective is exploring why flexibility has become one of the most essential skills for modern data scientists. It is no longer enough to simply master algorithms or statistics; you must be ready to pivot as technology, tools, and expectations change rapidly in the data world. You are living in a time when datasets grow larger every day and new machine learning frameworks appear almost monthly, forcing constant adaptation. There are few fields that reward versatility and openness to change as much as data science.A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics states there were about 245,900 data scientist…
