In view of the required energy savings in building sector, there is an urgent need for innovative and sustainable solutions to increase performance envelopes. Adaptive façades can make important contribution, whereby passive low-tech strategies active high-tech are apparently incompatible. current digitalization, new technologies methods implementation adaptive emerge framework Cyber-Physical S...

Metasurfaces are subwavelength structured thin films consisting of arrays units that allow the control polarization, phase, and amplitude light over a thickness. Recent developments in topological photonics have greatly broadened horizon designing metasurfaces for novel functional applications. In this review, we summarize recent progress research field metasurfaces, first from perspectives pas...

Flexible filaments and fibres are essential components of important complex fluids that appear in many biological industrial settings. Direct simulations these systems capture the motion deformation immersed suspension remain a formidable computational challenge due to complex, coupled fluid--structure interactions all filaments, numerical stiffness associated with filament bending, various con...
