Ultra‐Fine 3D Bioprinting of Dynamic Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for in Vitro Modeling
3D bioprinting merges tissue engineering and additive manufacturing to create biological structures. A bioink is developed by modifying hyaluronic acid, a natural extracellular matrix polymer, with cysteine. Potassium iodide is later added to tune gelation kinetics, enabling fine printing with a 32G needle.

Phase-stepping algorithms for synchronous demodulation of nonlinear phase-shifted fringes [PDF]
Standard phase-stepping algorithms (PSAs) estimate the measuring phase of linear carrier temporal-fringes with respect to a linear-reference. Linear-carrier fringes are normally obtained using feedback, closed-loop, optical phase-shifting devices. On the other hand, open-loop, phase-shifting devices, usually give fringe patterns with nonlinear phase ...

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Nulling interferometry: performance comparison between Antarctica and other ground-based sites [PDF]
Detecting the presence of circumstellar dust around nearby solar-type main sequence stars is an important pre-requisite for the design of future life-finding space missions such as ESA's Darwin or NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF).

Piston sensing of sparse aperture systems with a single broadband image via deep learning.
The pistons of sparse aperture systems need to be controlled within a fraction of a wavelength for the system's optimal imaging performance. In this paper, we demonstrate that deep learning is capable of performing piston sensing with a single wide-band ...

Triboelectrification During Water Intrusion–Extrusion into‐from Hydrophobic Nanopores
An innovative class of tribogenerator (IE‐TENG) is proposed, which is based on cyclic water intrusion–extrusion into‐from hydrophobic nanopores. This IE‐TENG possesses surface area orders of magnitude higher than flat surfaces and achieves remarkable electricity generation.

Sparse aperture differential piston measurements using the pyramid wave-front sensor [PDF]
In this paper we report on the laboratory experiment we settled in the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) to investigate the pyramid wavefront sensor (WFS) ability to measure the differential piston on a sparse aperture. The ultimate goal is to verify the ability of the pyramid WFS work in closed loop to perform the phasing of the primary mirrors

4D Printed Self‐Deploying Bio‐Based Scaffolds for the Regeneration of Endoluminal Tissue
A bilayer self‐deploying tubular C‐shaped scaffold, made of natural polymers and triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D printing for the regeneration of gastro‐intestinal tissue. The choice of the materials and their spatial arrangement is guided by physical and biological evaluation, whereas the geometry of the structure is optimized through ...
