• Abstract

  An increasing awareness of the negative impact of noise and vibration exposure on our health along with ever tightening ecological and economic demands has led to an intensive search for innovative lightweight noise and vibration solutions. Metamaterials have emerged and shown strong potential to outperform traditional solutions. Although promising, the manufacturing of metamaterials is c…

• Abstract

  As first cells recruited to inflammatory sites, neutrophils weaken infections, but also cause excessive tissue destruction and immunopathology. Neutrophils are known to be crucial to clear bacterial pathogens, but their contribution to host defense and response to viral diseases, e.g. arbovirus-induced encephalitis or arthritogenic disease are much less understood. Indeed, seen as seconda…

• Abstract

  Increasing computational power allows for the description and prediction of natural processes by modelling its smallest-scale interactions, recreating natural phenomena in a bottom-up fashion. Two classes of such approaches, which are especially pertinent for modelling spatio-temporal processes, are cellular automata (CAs) and their topological extension, network automata (NAs). The simpl…

• Abstract

  Luminescent materials (also called phosphors) can emit light after energy is provided to the material. Typical applications include solid-state lighting (e.g., LEDs), lasers, and medical imaging. In some crystalline materials, impurities or imperfections in the crystal lattice can create defects (or traps) that extend the time between absorption and light emission. However, insufficient k…

• Abstract

  Plant fitness is highly dependent on the ability to cope with multiple (a)biotic environmental cues, such as light and interacting organisms. Complex signaling networks driven by perception of these cues and involving endogenously produced phytohormones, program the appropriate cellular and organismal response and steer plant development and metabolism to promote fitness and survival. Oft…
