Robust Radiative Cooling in Functionalizable Silica Microsphere Paints
Abstract Disordered coatings based on silica microspheres provide a scalable and robust platform for passive daytime radiative cooling. While particle-size optimization is often considered critical for enhancing solar scattering, the role of microsphere diameter once a coating op...

Spin-based modelling of perception as emergent from contextualized internal evaluation
Abstract We develop a microscopic model of perception of an interoceptive sensation in which spin-like variables encode an organism's internal evaluation of embodied vital norms associated with the sensation. Spins can take positive, negative or neutral values. These local evalua...
