Generative detail enhancement for physically based materials
Proceedings of the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques Conference Conference PapersWe present a tool for enhancing the detail of physically based materials using an off-the-shelf diffusion model and inverse rendering. Our goal is to enhance the visual fidelity of materials with detail that is often tedious to author, by adding signs of wear, aging, weathering, etc. As these appearance details are often rooted in real-world processes,

2D Material-Enhanced Phase Change Materials
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering TechnologyPhase change materials (PCMs) are promising options for thermal energy storage systems because of their well-known high energy density and consistent thermal output. Nevertheless, the low thermal conductivity and phase transition leakage of conventional PCMs severely restrict their usefulness.
