The Relationship between Virtual Self Similarity and Social Anxiety
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 In virtual reality (VR) it is possible to embody avatars that are dissimilar to the physical self. We examined whether embodying a dissimilar self in VR would decrease anxiety in a public speaking situation.

Development of a Synthetic 3D Platform for Compartmentalized Kidney In Vitro Disease Modeling
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A fully synthetic, compartmentalized 3D kidney disease model is introduced. The kidney model combines a PEG‐based hydrogel matrix with anisotropic, enzymatically degradable rod‐shaped microgels to spatially arrange a triple co‐culture of key renal epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cells.

Shapeshifting Liquid Metal Droplets for Soft Fluidic Machines
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presented a liquid metal shape shifting strategy which harnesses Lorentz force, surface tension and fluid instabilities to achieve autonomous fluidic power. By using a liquid metal droplet as a mobile current carrier, this strategy enables the development of low‐voltage, self‐oscillating pumps that outperform existing soft pumps.
