Biomimetics design tool used to develop new components for lower-energy buildings
… of radiative cooling. Radiative cooling is a passive mechanism through which heat from a building can be rejected to the sky – an abundant but underused natural heat sink. Published in the Journal of Bionic Engineering, the study was the first independent application of BioTRIZ in the academic …

Bidirectional mode-locked fiber ring laser
… phase interferometry. It consists of a passively driven active mechanism that both stabilizes the laser and controls the location of the crossing points of the counter-circulating pulses. For that purpose, the idea has been developed in both a theoretical and experimental level, with the …

Nonsense-mediated mRNA reduction and pre-mRNA processing in drosophila
… not, contrary to initial expectations, due to a passive mechanism by which non translated mRNAs are degraded; rather it is a active process in which active translation, cis-acting sequences and specific trans-acting factors are required. It is generally accepted that this phenomenon is the …

Passive Flow Control with Shark Skin and the Relevance of Low Speed Streaks to Denticle Actuation
… It is hypothesized that the scales act as a passive separation control mechanism that is flow-actuated in that patches of reversing flow (occurring in the low-speed streaks of a turbulent boundary layer) are induced to form due to the presence of an adverse pressure gradient that is likely to …

Suppression of disorder-induced scattering in optomechanical systems
… hidden action of disorder. Surprisingly, this passive mechanism is also accompanied by a chiral reduction in heat load leading to optical cooling of the mechanics without added damping, an effect that has no optical analog. This technique can potentially improve upon the fundamental thermal …
