Design of a Multistable Finger Prosthesis with Programmable Metamaterials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This research article shows the development of a multistable programmble metamaterial for the use as a finger prosthesis. The material was designed on different hierarchical levels where the influence of geometrical parameters and combination of mechanical elements was explored.

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...

Living fossils and conservation values

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) have been in decline in Long Island Sound, and recently there has been discussion of whether the state of Connecticut should stop issuing licenses for commercial harvesting. This paper argues that in spite of concerns

Transparent Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes with Conductive Oxide Top Electrodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transparent perovskite light‐emitting diodes (TrPeLEDs) enable simultaneous display and transparency, expanding application possibilities. Using a metal oxide buffer layer and pulsed laser deposition, TrPeLEDs with diverse compositions and architectures are demonstrated.

How to think about how to think about aesthetic value

Journal of Aesthetics & Culture, 2022
Several art scholars have recently doubted the prudence of thinking about the nature of aesthetic value. The problem is that traditional thinking about aesthetic value fails to capture the specificities with which empirical art scholars must grapple ...

The role of hotel architecture in shaping the city’s image

On the W@terfront, 2021
The elements of the environment are characterized by variability. The structure of the city is also a subject to constant structural, social and material transformations. Objects in the city can play significant role for urban landscape.

Stochasticity, Nonlinear Value Functions, and Update Rules in Learning Aesthetic Biases

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
A theoretical framework for the reinforcement learning of aesthetic biases was recently proposed based on brain circuitries revealed by neuroimaging. A model grounded on that framework accounted for interesting features of human aesthetic biases.
