Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Principles for Shape Sonification

open access: yesEmpirical Musicology Review, 2013
This commentary starts with a critical reflection on Jensenius and Godøy's sonomotiongrams as a sonification technique to represent movement shapes. Based on this we propose alternative mappings that require less information reduction.
