Saint-Michel, B.F.B. (author), Garbin, V. (author)Bubbles in complex fluids are often desirable, and sometimes simply inevitable, in the processing of formulated products. Bubbles can rise by buoyancy, grow or dissolve by mass transfer, and readily respond to changes in pressure, thereby applying a deformation to the surrounding complex fluid. The deformation field around a stationary,...review 2020

Glazenburg, M.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Cellular life exhibits order and complexity, which typically increase over the course of evolution. Cell polarization is a well-studied example of an ordering process that breaks the internal symmetry of a cell by establishing a preferential axis. Like many cellular processes, polarization is driven by self-organization, meaning that the...review 2023

Xu, X. (author), Hilberath, T. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Heme-dependent oxygenases (i.e. P450 monooxygenases and peroxygenases) are highly selective catalysts for the selective oxyfunctionalisation or organic compounds. Both enzyme classes exhibit mechanistic similarities (i.e. using so-called compound I (CpdI) as active oxidation species) and differences in how CpdI is formed. From the differences...review 2023

(author), Belart, Joaquín M C (author)Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on Earth as glacier meltwater contributes to sea-level rise and alters regional water resources in arid regions. In this review, we present the different techniques developed during...review 2023

(author)The maintenance of people’s lifestyle against global climate change, exhaustion of groundwater, depletion of minerals, and water scarcity has instigated the recycling and reuse of water from unlikely sources. This situation has motivated researchers to develop effective technologies for treating wastewater, enabling its reuse. Water security has...review 2023

(author), Adelsberger, Rolf (author), Pastore-Wapp, Manuela (author), Van Wegen, Erwin E H (author), Bohlhalter, Stephan (author), Nef, Tobias (author), Krack, Paul (author), Vanbellingen, Tim (author)We often interact with our environment through manual handling of objects and exploration of their properties. Object properties (OP), such as texture, stiffness, size, shape, temperature, weight, and orientation provide necessary information to successfully perform interactions. The human haptic perception system plays a key role in this. As...review 2023

Lei, Binyu (author), Janssen, P.H.T. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Biljecki, Filip (author)Many challenges to operate digital twins remain, hindering their design and implementation, and are rarely discussed. Furthermore, issues of social and legal nature are often overlooked. We identify the challenges of operating digital twins in the urban context through a bifurcated and multi-dimensional approach: a systematic literature...review 2023

Sheldon, R.A. (author)The introduction of the E Factor in 1992 focussed attention on the problem of waste generation, defined as everything but the desired product, in chemicals manufacture and gave rise to a paradigm shift in our concept of efficiency in chemical processes, from one based solely on chemical yield to one that assigns value to eliminating waste....review 2023

Guo, Youwei (author), Xiao, Guoqing (author), Wang, Lingyuan (author), Chen, C. (author), Deng, Hongbo (author), Mi, Hongfu (author), Tu, Chu (author), Li, Yuanyuan (author)Pool fire is a typical example of fire accidents in chemical process industries. Since fire researchers have implemented a variety of measurements to gain insights into pool fire and to prevent fire disasters, there is a need to illustrate how pool fire models influence the risk assessment results. This review intends to consecutively discuss...review 2023

Müser, Martin H. (author), Nicola, L. (author)The small-scale topography of surfaces critically affects the contact area of solids and thus the forces acting between them. Although this has long been known, only recent advances made it possible to reliably model interfacial forces and related quantities for surfaces with multiscale roughness. This article sketches both recent and...review 2023
