GeoHash3D: Robust and Efficient 6-DoF Pose Estimation from 3D Marker Sets
Accurately measuring the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) pose of a sample is a critical prerequisite for applications in robotic sample handling, optical metrology, and industrial quality control. Our pose estimation problem requires matching a small, partial observation of 4–20 d...

A novel synergistic phycobiliprotein combination against HIV-1 shows potent antiviral activity
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a major global public health challenge due to lifelong persistence, latency, and the emergence of drug resistance. Natural bioactive compounds are increasingly being explored as alternative or adjunct antiviral strategies. In th...

Color Symmetry Breaking in a Nonlinear Optical Microresonator
ABSTRACT Spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to diverse phenomena across the natural sciences, from the Higgs mechanism in particle physics to superconductors and collective animal behavior. In photonic systems, the symmetry of light states can be broken when two optical fields i...

Unveiling Float Glass Staining Induced by an Acid‐Cleaning Product
ABSTRACT Staining of glass facades is a recurring and significant problem worldwide. This study investigates the causes of staining observed on six laminated float glass samples from four manufacturers (α, β, γ, and δ). Samples from β, γ, and δ were new, whereas those from α (α 1...

Advances and challenges in powder flowability and fluidization quality
Flowability and fluidization quality of bulk solids are closely interlinked and decisive for the processing behavior and homogeneity of product quality in many applications, ranging from fine chemicals to energy generation. In this perspective, we summarize recent advances in the...

Reconceptualizing the ethics of diagnosis: a Foucauldian framework
Abstract Background Traditional approaches in medical ethics have primarily focused on the consequences of diagnoses, emphasizing their impact on patients’ lives, treatment options, and social perception. While this perspective remains indispensable, it is limited in its consider...

Early life sugar rationing and ageing related diseases, biological ageing and mortality
Early-life nutrition may influence lifelong ageing, yet human evidence is scarce. Using Britain’s postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, we examine its long-term effects in 64,809 United Kingdom Biobank participants. Exposure to sugar rationing during the first 1,000 da...

The magnetic removal of PFAS from water − from molecules to microplastics
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “ forever chemicals ”, pose a persistent environmental threat due to their chemical stability, bioaccumulation and widespread presence in water sources. Traditional treatment methods are often limited to remove PFAS, especially...
