Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon observed across natural and artificial networked systems. It often manifests itself by clusters of units exhibiting coincident dynamics. These clusters are a direct consequence of the organization of the Laplacian matrix eigenvalues into spectral localized blocks. We show how the concept of spectral blocks can be leveraged to design straightforward yet powerful controllers able to fully manipulate cluster synchronization of a generic network, thus shaping at will its parallel functioning. Specifically, we demonstrate how to induce the formation of spectral blocks in networks where such structures would not exist, and how to achieve precise mastering over the synchronizability of individual clusters by dictating the sequence in which each of them enters or exits the synchronization stability region as the coupling strength varies. Our results underscore the pivotal role of cluster synchronization control in shaping the parallel operation of networked systems, thereby enhancing their efficiency and adaptability across diverse applications.

Variable stiffness electronics represent the forefront of adaptive technology, integrating rigid and soft electronics in a single system through dynamic mechanical modulation. While gallium's high modulus tuning ratio and rapid phase transitions make it ideal for transformative electronic systems (TES), its liquid-state instability, high surface tension, and unintended phase transitions during processing pose substantial challenges. Here, we introduce STiffness-Adjustable temperature-Responsive ink (STAR ink), a chemically sinterable gallium composite electronic ink designed to overcome these obstacles. STAR ink enables high-resolution (~50 micrometers) circuit patterning, large-scale batch fabrication, and three-dimensional structure coating at room temperature. Through pH-controlled chemical sintering, STAR ink-based TES exhibits exceptional mechanical tunability (tuning ratio: 1465) and electrical conductivity (2.27 × 10 siemens per meter). Demonstrated applications-from multilayered variable stiffness printed circuit boards (PCBs) matching standard PCBs' complexity to body-temperature responsive neural probe-underscore STAR ink's potential for reconfigurable electronics across consumer electronics and biomedical devices.

With advancements in the science of detection and attribution studies, the influence of climate change over many events has now been quantified.
Because of the rapidly increasing temperatures, vulnerable populations (adults older than 65 years, and children younger than one year of age) were exposed to 3·7 billion more heatwave days in 2021 than annually in 1986–2005 (indicator 1.1.2), and heat-related deaths increased by 68% between 2000–04 and 2017–21 (indicator 1.1.5), a death toll that was significantly exacerbated by the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the local cooling and overall health benefits of urban greenspaces, only 277 (27%) of 1038 global urban centres were at least moderately green in 2021 (indicator 2.2.3), and the number of households with air conditioning increased by 66% from 2000 to 2020, a maladaptive response that worsens the energy crisis and further increases urban heat, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
[...]millions of people do not have access to the energy needed to keep their homes at healthy temperatures, preserve food and medication, and meet the seventh Sustainable Development Goal (to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all).
Aggravating this situation even further, governments continue to incentivise fossil fuel production and consumption: 69 (80%) of 86 countries reviewed had net-negative carbon prices (ie, provided a net subsidy to fossil fuels) for a net total of US$400 billion
