Liu, Bin (author), Wang, Q. (author), Pollin, Sofie (author)This paper presents a novel transparent amplifying intelligent surface (TAIS) architecture for uplink enhancement in indoor-To-outdoor mmWave communications. The TAIS is an amplifier-based transmissive intelligent surface that can refract and amplify the incident signal, instead of only refracting it with adjustable phase shift by most...journal article 2024

(author), van den Ham, E.R. (author), Wang, Jingxia (author)The adaptive control of sunlight through photochromic smart windows could have a huge impact on the energy efficiency and daylight comfort in buildings. However, the fabrication of inorganic nanoparticle and polymer composite photochromic films with a high contrast ratio and high transparency/low haze remains a challenge. Here, a solution...journal article 2024

Mehrotra, S. (author), Centeio Jorge, C. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)Appropriate trust is an important component of the interaction between people and AI systems, in that ‘inappropriate’ trust can cause disuse, misuse or abuse of AI. To foster appropriate trust in AI, we need to understand how AI systems can elicit appropriate levels of trust from their users. Out of the aspects that influence trust, this paper...journal article 2024

Klenk, M.B.O.T. (author)Franke, in Philosophy & Technology, 37(1), 1–6, (2024), connects the recent debate about manipulative algorithmic transparency with the concerns about problematic pursuits of positive liberty. I argue that the indifference view of manipulative transparency is not aligned with positive liberty, contrary to Franke’s claim, and even if it is...journal article 2024

Klenk, M.B.O.T. (author)A series of recent papers raises worries about the manipulative potential of algorithmic transparency (to wit, making visible the factors that influence an algorithm’s output). But while the concern is apt and relevant, it is based on a fraught understanding of manipulation. Therefore, this paper draws attention to the ‘indifference view’ of...journal article 2023

Matheus, R. (author), Faber, R.M. (author), Ismagilova, Elvira (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Open Government efforts are criticized for providing limited value. Instead of looking at a value, we investigate the usefulness of web-based open government portals and apps. Specifically, we investigated the relationship between digital transparency and usefulness. We analyzed perceived digital transparency and usefulness in a survey of 112...journal article 2023

Verhagen, R.S. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)Humans and robots are increasingly working together in human-robot teams. Teamwork requires communication, especially when interdependence between team members is high. In previous work, we identified a conceptual difference between sharing what you are doing (i.e., being transparent) and why you are doing it (i.e., being explainable). Although...journal article 2022

(author), Isabella, O. (author)Reducing indium consumption, which is related to the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) use, is a key challenge for scaling up silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell technology to terawatt level. In this work, we developed bifacial SHJ solar cells with reduced TCO thickness. We present three types of In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-based TCOs,...journal article 2022

de Vrijer, T. (author), Miedema, Sander (author), Blackstone, Thijs (author), van Nijen, D.A. (author), Han, C. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author)A logical next step for achieving a cost price reduction per Watt peak of photovoltaics (PV) is multijunction PV devices. In two-terminal multijunction PV devices, the photo-current generated in each subcell should be matched. Intermediate reflective layers (IRLs) are widely employed in multijunction devices to increase reflection at the...journal article 2022

de Bruijn, J.A. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Governments look at explainable artificial intelligence's (XAI) potential to tackle the criticisms of the opaqueness of algorithmic decision-making with AI. Although XAI is appealing as a solution for automated decisions, the wicked nature of the challenges governments face complicates the use of XAI. Wickedness means that the facts that define...journal article 2022

Cheng, Peiyao (author), Mugge, R. (author)Transparency is a design characteristic enabling consumers to see the technical details underneath the product cover to create a unique visual effect. However, involving transparency in product design increases costs; it is thus essential to investigate the effects of transparency to help designers and manufacturers to determine the cost...journal article 2022

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) by public actors has led to a push for more transparency. Previous research has conceptualized AI transparency as knowledge that empowers citizens and experts to make informed choices about the use and governance of AI. Conversely, in this paper, we critically examine if transparency-as...journal article 2022
