Functional Porous Graphene Membranes: From Superhydrophobic to Slippery
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This work highlights a versatile approach for modifying porous graphene surfaces with an aim to control its wettability for challenging membrane applications. Utilizing an efficient silanization process, aided by the defects present on the graphene, the possibility to fabricate graphene‐siloxane hybrid layer that can be either superhydrophobic or ...

CAN: Creative Adversarial Networks, Generating "Art" by Learning About Styles and Deviating from Style Norms [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose a new system for generating art. The system generates art by looking at art and learning about style; and becomes creative by increasing the arousal potential of the generated art by deviating from the learned styles. We build over Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), which have shown the ability to learn to generate novel images ...

Predicting A Creator's Preferences In, and From, Interactive Generative Art [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 As a lay user creates an art piece using an interactive generative art tool, what, if anything, do the choices they make tell us about them and their preferences? These preferences could be in the specific generative art form (e.g., color palettes, density of the piece, thickness or curvatures of any lines in the piece); predicting them could lead to a

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A novel fast‐screening photocatalytic reactor system (FaS‐PhoReS) using terrestrial sunlight is able to measure the in operando photodegradation of 32 samples at once, and does not suffer from the common problem of sample evaporation. Four photostable 12 dyes are used to investigate the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 and ZnO samples in both film ...
