DOI: 10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.106396
Abstract: Abstract Applying active occupant engagement into a responsive facade concept leads us to a transition from the facade regulatory function to the interactive phase. The Interactive facade has the capacity for hierarchically filtering daylight and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.058
Abstract: Mitochondrial damage (MtD) represents a dramatic change in cellular homeostasis, necessitating metabolic changes and stimulating mitophagy. One rapid response to MtD is a rapid peri-mitochondrial actin polymerization termed ADA (acute damage-induced actin). The activation mechanism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2mh00785a
Abstract: Forming ceramics into rationally-designed and complex shapes without compromising their mechanical properties is a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate self-shaping of ceramics through sequential stereolithographic printing of ceramic resins into components with a heterogeneous concentration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.172371
Abstract: Skeletal muscle bulges when it contracts. These three-dimensional (3D) dynamic shape changes play an important role in muscle performance by altering the range of fascicle velocities over which a muscle operates. However traditional muscle models… read more here.
