Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.

Analysis of microbial diversity and resistant genes among three types of pork via metagenomic and HPC-NGS

Food and Agricultural Immunology
The aim of this study was to reveal whether different types of pork have distinct microbial contamination and resistance genes. This work employed metagenomics to investigate microbial contamination in organic, intensive, and cage-free pork.

Quality of eggs in different production systems

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2016
This experiment was carried out to compare morphological egg quality parameters, as well as lipid and protein profiles, of brown eggs laid by chickens reared under different production systems: cage, free-range, and family type. A total of 270 brown eggs

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Selecting laying hens adapted to cage-free systems

, 2023
Cage rearing systems of laying hens is disappearing in Europe, in favour of cage-free systems that offer living conditions more respectful of the animals’ welfare. Hens live in groups and have access to nests for the egg-laying. Usually, laying hens have been bred in breeding programmes based on a measurement of the egg-laying in cages. The development
