The Effect of Air Purification on the Indoor Air Quality in Habitable New Zealand Buildings

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
Particulate matter (PM) in indoor air, including fungal spores and bacteria, poses significant health risks, especially in poorly constructed and inadequately ventilated buildings that are prevalent in New Zealand. To maintain acceptable living conditions, there is a need to explore ways in which fungal and bacterial populations in habitable buildings ...

Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Incorporating ethylene glycol into hydrophilic poly(ether‐b‐amide) membranes for enhanced gas dehumidification performance

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 1449-1462, March 2026.
Using ethylene glycol to enhance water vapour permeation for gas dehumidification. Abstract In the present study, ethylene glycol (EG) was incorporated into hydrophilic poly(ether‐b‐amide) matrix membranes to enhance the membrane performance for gas dehumidification (e.g., H2O/N2, H2O/CH4, and H2O/CO2 separations). Exploiting EG as a hygroscopic agent,
