Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Niche‐Mediated Neural Priming Enables Robust and Scalable Generation of Human Choroid Plexus Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to E8, mTeSR1 culture downregulated WNT and TGF‑β signaling, and upregulated neural differentiation pathways, enhancing neural priming. Under skin organoid induction conditions, mTeSR1‑cultured hESCs generated organoids with significantly higher neuroepithelial differentiation.

Synergistic Effects in Multistate Black Electro‐Thermochromic Smart Windows for Energy‐Efficient Modulation of Solar Heating

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hybrid electro‐thermochromic smart windows are developed for dynamic climate control by integrating a redox‐matched black electrochromic gel with a paraffin‐based thermochromic film. This synergistic combination enables multimodal solar modulation, where photothermal heating from the electrochromic layer triggers thermochromic activation at lower ...

MN•CS•IO System: Cross‐Species Study for HBB Function in High‐Altitude Hypoxia Adaptation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed an integrative mesh‐nanorod sorting, chitosan nanoparticle delivery, and intraosseous injection (MN•CS•IO) system to investigate HBB in high‐altitude hypoxia adaptation. Transplanting Tibetan animals' HBB‐modified Lin‐ cells into mice achieved 95.59% transfection efficiency and 8.15% HBB expression. High‐altitude HBB recipients upregulated

Model predictive control with inline parameter adaptation for direct crystal growth rate regulation

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In batch cooling crystallization, many interactive factors, including supersaturation, reactor dimensions, and operating conditions, govern crystal growth and significantly influence product properties. Variables such as temperature or refractive index are used as surrogate control variables but have limitations in capturing growth rate ...

Applications of Extensive Green-roof Systems in Contributing to Sustainable Development in Densely Populated Cities: a Hong Kong Study

Construction Economics and Building, 2011
Developed cities such as Hong Kong are usually densely populated. Since the land is limited, high-rise buildings are constructed. When the building height becomes higher, air flow is reduced and heat is trapped among high-rise buildings.
