The Multidimensional Spectrum of Imagination: Images, Dreams, Hallucinations, and Active, Imaginative Perception

Humanities, 2014
A theory of the structure and cognitive function of the human imagination that attempts to do justice to traditional intuitions about its psychological centrality is developed, largely through a detailed critique of the theory propounded by Colin McGinn.

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Molecular Preorganization Unlocks Reversible Solid‐State Photoconversion in Dianthrylnaphthalene‐Based Molecular Solar Thermal Systems

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Three dianthrylnaphthalenes were synthesized and investigated for molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. Naphthyl‐based bridging units preorganize the two anthracene moieties face‐to‐face, leading to improved photoisomerization quantum yield (QY) and unlocked bidirectional photoswitching in the solid state compared to previously reported ortho ...

A Novel Approach to Dream Content Analysis Reveals Links Between Learning-Related Dream Incorporation and Cognitive Abilities

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Can dreams reveal insight into our cognitive abilities and aptitudes (i.e., “human intelligence”)? The relationship between dream production and trait-like cognitive abilities is the foundation of several long-standing theories on the neurocognitive and ...

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Improving High‐Temperature Operational Stability of Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells Through MXene Heat‐Dissipating Layers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MeO‐2PACz‐functionalized MXene nanosheets create a thermally conductive buried interface in inverted perovskite solar cells. The interface improves heat spreading, suppresses defects and ion migration, and strengthens charge extraction, extending T80 at 65°C from 141 to 687 h while maintaining competitive efficiency.
