Yarali, E. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Staufer, U. (author), Accardo, A. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author)Mechanical and morphological design parameters, such as stiffness or porosity, play important roles in creating orthopedic implants and bone substitutes. However, we have only a limited understanding of how the microarchitecture of porous scaffolds contributes to bone regeneration. Meta-biomaterials are increasingly used to precisely engineer...review 2023

McMorland, J. (author), Collu, M. (author), McMillan, D. (author), Carroll, James (author), Coraddu, A. (author)As new offshore wind development sites move further from shore and existing sites enter their post-subsidy operating period, it is expected that operational expenditure (OpEx) will increase. In order to overcome these challenges, a more flexible and cost-effective maintenance solution is needed. One such solution is opportunistic maintenance ...review 2023

van de Water, W. (author)I comment on the recent article Grüneisen approach for universal scaling of the Brillouin shift in gases by Liang et al (2022 New J. Phys. 24 103005). While the result of this article indeed provides a parametrization of measured Rayleigh Brillouin scattering spectra, I argue that the association with the Grüneisen effect is fortuitous. The...review 2023

Schram Serban, Corina (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author)(1) Background. Obesity is a well-established worldwide recognised risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior review papers reported on the associations between obesity and AF development, but not on the relation between obesity and atrial electrophysiology. We therefore conducted a systematic review to describe the current knowledge of...review 2023

Van de Cauter, L. (author), van Buren, L. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Ganzinger, Kristina A. (author)Creating an artificial cell from the bottom up is a long-standing challenge and, while significant progress has been made, the full realization of this goal remains elusive. Arguably, one of the biggest hurdles that researchers are facing now is the assembly of different modules of cell function inside a single container. Giant unilamellar...review 2023

Zhang, Bo (author), Zhu, Zerui (author), Wang, Xuerui (author), Liu, X. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are superior sorbents for water adsorption-based applications. The unique step-like water isotherm at a MOF-specific relative pressure allows easy loading and regeneration over a small range of temperature and pressure conditions. With good hydrothermal stability and cyclic durability, it stands out over...review 2023
