Optimise Urban Daylight Design Using Computational Simulations

, 2004
Urban design is about providing an infrastructure for its inhabitants. An important consideration of design is to provide natural outdoor conditions that are pleasant and conductive to human activities. A well designed outdoor urban environment will also

Cucurbit[8]Uril Achieved Single‐Molecule Chiral Transfer to Supramolecular Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A single‐molecule cascade supramolecular system comprising L/D‐FPy, CB[8], and SC4AD serves as an efficient light‐harvesting platform. It facilitates cascade energy transfer and chiral transfer to acceptor dyes. Co‐assembly with a PVA matrix produces a multicolor solid film that exhibits enhanced luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum), enabling ...

A High‐Throughput Live Imaging Platform to Investigate Circuit‐Dependent Regulation of Circadian Rhythms in Brain Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biological rhythms coordinate physiology, from genes to behavior. Study of circadian rhythms in brain tissue is constrained by limited throughput and spatial and temporal information quality. A new platform for high‐throughput, long‐term multiplexed fluorescent live imaging of circadian rhythms in brain slices is introduced.

Unity Quantum Yield of High‐Entropy Quantum Dots Composited With Photonic Crystals for Information Encryption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study first extends the high‐entropy concept to I‐III‐VI quantum dots (QDs) and synthesizes CZCrGSe/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell/shell QDs with a record photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 100%. Their ZnSe/ZnS double shell efficiently passivates defects and boosts structural stability.

Inhibitory Decay and Supercritical Brain Dynamics During Sleep Deprivation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep deprivation progressively shifts human brain dynamics from near‐critical toward supercritical states, as revealed by neuronal avalanche analysis of resting‐state fMRI. These changes track subjective sleep pressure rather than vigilance lapses and show marked network heterogeneity. A circuit model suggests that reduced inhibitory efficacy provides

Computational Evaluation of a Biomimetic Kinetic Façade Inspired by the Venus Flytrap for Daylight and Glare Performance

Buildings
Centralized daylight control has been extensively studied for its ability to optimize useful daylight while mitigating glare in targeted areas. However, this approach lacks a comprehensive visual comfort framework, as it does not simultaneously address ...
