Daylighting as Media: From Illusion in Chinese Gardens to Space in Modern Architecture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The intention of this thesis is to evaluate whether daylighting can be a media leading traditional concepts into today’s architectural design. Daylighting as a media not only an essential visual element in consisting impression of architecture, but also ...

Fast Programming of in‐Plane Hyperbolic Phonon Polariton Optics through Van der Waals Crystals Using the Phase‐Change Material In3SbTe2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Launching structures for in‐plane hyperbolic polaritons in α‐MoO3 are optically programmed through already deposited flakes into the phase‐change material In3SbTe2. Precise alignment with the flake's crystal axes, focusing of polaritons by an optically programmed disk, and a first experimental realization toward a nanocavity for in‐plane hyperbolic ...

Synergistic Effects in Multistate Black Electro‐Thermochromic Smart Windows for Energy‐Efficient Modulation of Solar Heating

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hybrid electro‐thermochromic smart windows are developed for dynamic climate control by integrating a redox‐matched black electrochromic gel with a paraffin‐based thermochromic film. This synergistic combination enables multimodal solar modulation, where photothermal heating from the electrochromic layer triggers thermochromic activation at lower ...

A Bio‐Inspired Visual Sensor With UV‐to‐NIR Fusion for Enhanced Recognition in Autonomous Driving Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the sophisticated multilayer retinal architecture found in Pacific salmon eyes, a novel van der Waals heterojunction sensor based on NbNiTe5/BP is designed. Upon illumination at distinct wavelengths of 365 and 820 nm, the device exhibits distinctive bipolar photocurrent responses with opposite polarities. This unique optoelectronic behavior

Solvent‐Free Synthesis of Ultrabright Carbon Dots With Near‐Unity Quantum Yield for High‐Performance Light‐Emitting Diodes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A rational, solvent‐free synthesis utilizing 2,6‐diaminonaphthalene produces ultrabright green‐emissive carbon dots. Regulated by a self‐limiting oxidative capping mechanism, excitons undergo ultrafast intra‐particle funneling from the nitrogen‐doped carbon core to emissive surface traps.
