Effect on Radon Exhalation Rate Due to Cracks in Concrete
Nordic Concrete Research, 2019 The second largest cause of lung cancer in the World is related to radon (222Rn) and its progenies in our environment. Building materials, such as concrete, contribute to the production of radon gas through the natural decay of 238U from its constituents.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel chloro boron subphthalocyanine/polymer blend OFET sensor achieving 0.005 ppb limit of detection for ammonia at room temperature and high selectivity against similar amines. An original theoretical framework is proposed to describe the sensing mechanism, relating analyte molecular volume and Lewis basicity to sensor ...

Gourd‐Inspired Design of Unit Cell with Multiple Gradients for Physiological‐Range Pressure Sensing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Gourd‐shaped micro‐dome arrays with coordinated modulus, conductivity, and geometric gradients co‐optimize sensitivity and linearity in piezoresistive tactile sensors. Under pressure, a solid upper dome embeds into a porous lower dome, triggering rapid contact‐area growth and series‐to‐parallel conduction, enabling unsaturated, intensity‐resolved ...

Outdoor radon and thoron in an area with naturally ventilating bedrock fractures
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceOpen fractures lead to increased permeability of the bedrock, and, if connected to the surface, allow for groundwater flow and air ventilation. Radon and thoron received by groundwater and ventilating air from bedrock can then be released at the surface.
