Thermal comfort in outdoor urban parks of Kathmandu

E3S Web of Conferences
Urban parks are an important part of public green spaces and are frequently used by visitors for outdoor recreation and activities. Although Nepal has many urban parks that attract many visitors, the availability of data regarding outdoor thermal comfort remains lacking.

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

A modular and programmable electrolyte platform: Covalently anchored thermochromic hydrogels for on‐demand electrochromic devices

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Developing stable, multifunctional hydrogel electrolytes without compromising performance presents a considerable challenge in the field. In this study, we introduce a material design strategy with broad applicability to combinations of functional polymeric segments, ionic monomers, and salts.

Human Sun–Shade Adaptation Reshapes Global Outdoor Thermal Comfort Assessments

Earth's Future
Outdoor thermal comfort assessments typically assume static exposure to either sun‐exposed or shaded conditions, neglecting the common behavior of moving between sun and shade to regulate thermal stress during non‐occupational outdoor activities.

From Physiology to Bioheat Simulation: A Data‐Driven Framework for Core Temperature Initialization

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate initialization of core body temperature is a critical yet often overlooked component of bioheat transfer models, particularly when such models are applied to heterogeneous populations and real‐world environmental conditions. Conventional bioheat simulations typically rely on fixed or idealized core body temperature values derived from

Aerogel Fiber: A One‐Dimensional Programmable Porous Matter for Next Thermal Management Materials

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Aerogel fibers are redefined as one‐dimensional programmable porous matter, where thermal transport is governed by multiscale pathway engineering. By reconstructing and decoupling transport pathways from molecular to textile scales, these systems integrate insulation, radiative cooling, and adaptive thermal regulation.
