Responsive liquid metal materials towards unstructured environment

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Room‐temperature liquid metals integrate conductivity, deformability, and interfacial dynamics, enabling robust performance in unstructured environments. This review highlights key properties, requirements, and applications across in vivo, underwater, natural, space, and radiation settings, with advances in sensing, actuation, thermal regulation, and ...

Thermal evolution effects on the properties of converting Cs-polluted soil into pollucite-base glass-ceramics for radioactive cesium immobilization

Journal of Materiomics, 2021
The Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan on March 11, 2011, produced large amounts of Cs-polluted soil which must be controlled to prevent the spread of hazardous Cs into the environment. In this paper, the effects of heat treatment on the structure and properties of Cs-containing glass-ceramics, as a simulated nuclear waste form, were systematically ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...
