The Role of Tangible Interaction to Communicate Tacit Knowledge of Built Heritage

Heritage, 2018
Meanings and values of built heritage vary from factual and explicit meanings which are relatively easy to present, to more tacit knowledge, which is typically more challenging to communicate due to its implicit and often abstract character.

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Late pre-Hispanic fog oasis settlements and long-term human occupation on the Peruvian central coast from satellite imagery.

, 2023
Fog oases ( ) present pockets of verdant vegetation within the arid coastal desert of Andean South America and archaeological excavation within some of the oases has revealed a long history of human exploitation of these landscapes. Yet lomas settlements

Bamboo‐Slip‐Inspired Conformal Reconfigurable Metasurfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bamboo‐slip‐inspired conformal reconfigurable metasurface system. The structure is mainly composed of three parts, which are conformal metasurface, pattern reconfigurable antenna, and control components (such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)). Conformal metasurfaces draw inspiration from the design of ancient Chinese bamboo slips.

Hydraulicity in Organic Polymers Enabled by Hydrophobization Upon Water‐Triggered Curing of Hydrophilic Chains

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cement‐mimetic hydraulicity is realized in an organic polymer through a counterintuitive reaction in which a hydrophilic linear polymer reacts with water to undergo hydrophobization during curing via silatrane sol–gel chemistry. This polarity‐inverting curing process turns a water‐plasticized putty into a water‐tolerant rigid material, enabling ...
