Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...

Simulation of wind flow around an alternative flat-roofed fortress tower ruin

Acta Polytechnica
An analysis of the effects of alternative flat roof sizes and positions on wind flow around a ruin model is presented. The modelled ruin has almost cube-like proportions, with an open roof plane and a destroyed corner.

Self‐Adaptive Non‐Flammable Wallpaper With Layered Bead‐Network Structure for Light Path Modulation Enabling on‐Demand Building Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A layered bead‐network wallpaper is designed to modulate the light propagation path, overcoming the color residue limitations of thermochromic components for efficient automatic switching between radiative cooling and solar heating modes. The layered bead‐network wallpaper provides passive, all‐season thermal regulation while offering self‐cleaning and

Application of recycled plastic in flat roofs [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The article describes and verifies the possibility of applying secondary plastic materials to construction details such as flat roofs. The created element is a placement considered both in the area and in the finishing detail. The secure connection of the embedded element with the waterproofing layer is an integral part of the detail functionality ...
