Indirect Band Edge and Chain‐Locked Linear Dichroism in the Quasi‐1D Van der Waals Antiferromagnet AgCrP2S6

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
AgCrP2S6 reveals a momentum‐indirect band edge (≈1.35 eV) and chain‐locked linear dichroism: the first direct transitions emerge at 1.6–1.8 eV for E||a. Resonant Raman and photoemission corroborate this assignment. In ACPS/graphene heterostructures, photocurrent turns on above ≈1.5 eV and follows the same polarization selection rules (anisotropy ≈0.53),

Fitting Geometric Shapes to Fuzzy Point Cloud Data

Journal of Imaging
This article describes procedures and thoughts regarding the reconstruction of geometry-given data and its uncertainty. The data are considered as a continuous fuzzy point cloud, instead of a discrete point cloud.

Mechanoregulatory Effects of Cell‐Scale Microwells on Epithelial Cell Phenotype

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In small polycaprolactone microwells, A549 epithelial cells span well edges, in contrast to cells growing on flat substrates. Focal adhesion sites (yellow) concentrate at topographic boundaries, while cytoskeletal tension (magenta stress fibers) is transmitted to the nucleus (blue), reducing nuclear sphericity.

Computational geometry and discrete computations [PDF]

, 1996
In this paper we describe some problems arising in practical implementation of algorithms from computational geometry. Going to robust algorithms needs to solve issues such as rounding errors and degeneracies. Most of the problems are closely related to the incompatibility between on one side algorithms designed for continuous data and on the other ...

Bio‐Inspired Magnetically Tunable Structural Colors from Elliptical Self‐Assembled Block Copolymer Microparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Understanding the Role of Superhydrophobicity and Superhydrophilicity in Salt‐Spray Corrosion of Nanosecond Pulsed Laser‐Textured AA2024 Alloy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanosecond pulse laser texturing yields superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic AA2024 surfaces. Salt‐spray tests show that periodic superhydrophobic patterns suppress pitting, whereas superhydrophilic textures enhance it, linking laser‐induced morphology, wettability, and oxide chemistry to corrosion resistance.

Discrete stochastic geometry

, 2019
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden diverse Funktionale von Zufallspolytopen untersucht. Erwartungswerte des Volumens, der innerer Volumina, der Facettenzahl und des sogenannten T-Funktionals von Beta- und Beta'-Polytopen werden explizit ermittelt. Darüber hinaus wird die strikte Monotonie des Erwartungswerts der Facettenzahl bei wachsender Punktezahl ...

Predicting the mechanical properties of spring networks

Physical Review Research
The elastic response of mechanical, chemical, and biological systems is often modeled using a discrete arrangement of Hookean springs, representing either finite material elements or even the molecular bonds of a system.
