Hydrogel Thermostat Inspired by Photoprotective Foliage Using Latent and Radiative Heat Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Guided by Populus alba foliage, this hydrogel latent‐radiative thermostat (LRT) actively balances latent and radiative heat fluxes. An LRT switches solar reflectance, maintains high mid‐IR emissivity, and reversibly evaporates/regenerates water, while titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles toughen the film.

Performance analysis of vertically mounted bifacial PV modules on green roof system [PDF]
, 2018 A combination of PV and green roof is an ideal fusion in terms of ecology. The green roof improves the water retention in the city, whereas the PV system produces electric power at the place where it is consumed. Flat tilted modules in south or east west

Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,

Multi‐Material Gradient Printing Using Meniscus‐enabled Projection Stereolithography (MAPS)
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.MAPS is a new vat‐free printing technique that utilizes programmed delivery of resin droplets with custom formulations to enable multi‐material gradient printing of 3D structures with user‐defined variations in mechanical stiffness, opacity, surface energy, cell densities, and magnetic properties. Abstract Light‐based additive manufacturing methods are
