Super Authentic Ancient Town. The Case of Wuzhen in China
No full textWuzhen, uno dei più noti "villaggi sull'acqua" nella regione di Shanghai, in Cina, è spesso indicato come un “modello” di trasformazione per aree storiche e architetture vernacolari che si propongano la conservazione del patrimonio culturale e lo sfruttamento turistico. Il dibattito sulla sua “autenticità” è stato sempre acceso. Questo articolo prende Wuzhen come esempio di molte pratiche simili, discute in che misura l’autenticità della città antica sia ridefinita dall’intervento di nuove culture - come quelle dei visitatori e di un rinnovato interesse nazionale verso le tradizioni locali - o sia invece da inquadrare in processi globali di ridefinizione delle memorie collettive

Fabrication of Arrays of Topological Solitons in Patterned Chiral Liquid Crystals for Real‐Time Observation of Morphogenesis
No full textTopological solitons have knotted continuous field configurations embedded in a uniform background, and occur in cosmology, biology, and electromagnetism. However, real-time observation of their morphogenesis and dynamics is still challenging because their size and timescale are enormously large or tiny. Liquid crystal (LC) structures are promising candidates for a model-system to study the morphogenesis of topological solitons, enabling direct visualization due to the proper size and timescale. Here, a new way is found to rationalize the real-time observation of the generation and transformation of topological solitons using cholesteric LCs confined in patterned substrates. The experimental demonstration shows the topologically protected structures arise via the transformation of topological defects. Numerical modeling based on minimization of free energy closely reconstructs the experimental findings. The fundamental insights obtained from the direct observations pose new theoretical challenges in understanding the morphogenesis of different types of topological solitons within a broad range of scales.
Reversible photo-responsive vesicle based on the complexation between an azobenzene containing molecule and alpha-cyclodextrin
No full textAn amphiphilic molecule, Azo-Cl, was successfully synthesized and found to be able to construct reversible spherical vesicles in water. The assembled vesicles disappeared on the addition of equimolar α-cyclodextrin, α-CD, and reformed with UV irradiation due to the exclusion of the cis-azobenzene, Azo, group from α-CD, s hydrophobic cavity. With Vis irradiation, the vesicles were demolished again as α-CD combined with the Azo group again. These reversible photo-responsive vesicles based on the complexation between Azo-Cl and α-CD should be ideal switchable biomimetic membranes or carriers for photo-controllable release of functional matters like drugs.Jianjia Liu, Liang Yan, Jie Wang, Tao Li, Hanqing Zhao, Li Li, Stephen F.
