Listener perception of changes in historically informed performance of solo baroque music due to room acoustics

Acta Acustica
A listening test was performed to determine whether there were any perceived differences in the playing styles of musicians as a function of the room in which the music was performed.

Optical Control of the Thermal Conductivity in BaTiO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐driven manipulation of thermal conductivity in archetypal ferroelectric, BaTiO3, offers a novel and effective approach for the dynamical control of the heat flux, with potential applications in thermal management and phonon‐based logic. Abstract Achieving dynamic control over thermal conductivity remains a formidable challenge in condensed matter

Comparison of binaural auralisations to a real loudspeaker in an audiovisual virtual classroom scenario: effect of room acoustic simulation, HRTF dataset, and head-mounted display on room acoustic perception*

Acta Acustica
In this study, auralisations of a real room were compared to the actual acoustics of that room using listening tests. Participants sat in a room and wore a combination of a head-mounted display (HMD) and headphones, and rated different room-acoustic ...

Sono‐Piezo‐Photosynthesis of Ethylene and Acetylene from Bioethanol under Ambient Conditions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel sono‐piezo‐photocatalytic strategy enables the conversion of bioethanol to ethylene (C2H4) and acetylene (C2H2) under ambient conditions, addressing the limitations of conventional methods that are high‐temperature and energy‐intensive. By using an advanced graphene oxide/sodium bismuth titanate heterostructure catalyst, this work achieved ...

Digital Adaptive Echo-Canceller for Room Acoustics Improvement

Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2010
This paper presents a method to cancel the echoes generated by reflections in a room. The starting point is the full-band adaptive system identification method, where the unknown system is the room, providing several reflections of the sound.

Compositing Effect Leads to Extraordinary Performance in GeSe‐Based Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Rhombohedral GeSe is rationally designed with (GeSe)0.9(AgBiTe2)0.1‐1.5 mol.% SnSe, achieving a peak ZT of 1.31 at 623 K. Forming a composite with SnSe establishes interfaces with strong phonon scattering and weak electron scattering. Multiscale defects lead to an ultra‐low lattice thermal conductivity (0.26 W m−1 K−1), approaching the amorphous limit.

Enhanced Electromechanical Response in 1D Hybrid Perovskites: Coexistence of Normal and Relaxor Ferroelectric Phases

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The dynamic polarization reversal of coexisting normal and relaxor ferroelectrics in 1D TMAPbI₃ (tetramethylammonium, TMA) is deciphered through combined experimental and theoretical approaches. By bridging atomic‐scale motion, macroscopic polarization switching, and depolarization effects, a universal methodology is established to engineer next ...

A Visible Light‐Responsive Hydrogel to Study the Effect of Dynamic Tissue Stiffness on Cellular Mechanosensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A visible light‐responsive polyacrylamide‐azobenzene hydrogel enables safe, reversible stiffness control for studying cell mechanobiology without harmful UV exposure. This approach reveals stem cells respond rapidly to mechanical changes, showing altered shape and protein distribution within one hour.
