Personalized haemodynamic modelling for non-invasive quantification of arterial stiffness in the human vasculature

Arterial stiffness is a pivotal predictor of cardiovascular events, yet its in vivo characterization remains elusive because arterial wall mechanics cannot be directly measured. Conventional inverse approaches require high-resolution imaging to resolve wall motion, restricting th...

FuncDroid: Towards Inter-functional Flows for Comprehensive Mobile App GUI Testing

As mobile application (app) functionalities grow increasingly complex and their iterations accelerate, ensuring high reliability presents significant challenges. While functionality-oriented GUI testing has attracted growing research attention, existing approaches largely overloo...

Recognition Mechanism of Serotonin by a G‐Quadruplex–Duplex Hybrid Aptamer

ABSTRACT Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter, and aptamer‐based tools using the 44‐nt Apt44 have been successfully developed for its in vitro and in vivo detection. Nevertheless, the structural basis of recognition by this aptamer remains unclear. Here, we report high‐resolution...

Exploring efficient Pd-based single-atom catalyst on Sc2CO2 MXene by strain engineering

MXenes have exhibited significant potential in energy storage and conversion technologies for their superior structural stability, rich active sites, and metallic conductivity. We investigated the structural stability and electrocatalytic activity of Pd-doped Sc 2 CO 2 MXene unde...

StrongerSORT: Improving DeepSORT for Stronger Human Tracking

Human tracking plays a crucial role in video surveillance systems. However, tracking humans in surveillance videos remains challenging because targets are often captured at long distances, occupy only a small number of pixels, and exhibit substantial scale variations. These chall...

Mechanisms of Stability of the Metaphase Spindle and Associated Proteins Regulating Microtubule Flux

Abstract How the metaphase spindle in higher eukaryotes maintains stability in the presence of poleward microtubule (MT) flux is a confusing issue. Here, we present a model for the spindle by incorporating augmin-mediated MT connections and MT crosslinking by NuMA proteins. On th...

I2M: a box-based detection framework for molecular structure recognition from images

Accurate recognition and reconstruction of chemical structures from molecular images is critical in cheminformatics, with applications spanning drug discovery, materials science, and patent analysis. However, much of this chemical matter exists in implicit forms that are not dire...

Synergistic I 3 − Scavenging and Spontaneous Interphase Construction for Ultralong‐Life Zinc–Iodine Batteries

ABSTRACT Aqueous Zn–I 2 batteries combine safety, sustainability, and high theoretical capacity, making them a promising energy storage solution. However, their practical employment is impeded by challenges such as uncontrolled dendrite growth on the Zn anode, severe polyiodide s...

Paleomagnetic evidence for a nebular magnetic field from calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions

The initial stage of planet formation is expected to take place in a nascent protoplanetary disk (PPD) accreting onto the protostar embedded in an infalling envelope. This stage is likely accompanied by the formation of high-condensation temperature solids resembling calcium-alum...

Photoreceptor-specific scene statistics reveal melanopic structure in natural environments.

Multidimensional Sensing in Flexible Violet Phosphorus Photodetectors Driven by the Bulk Photovoltaic Effect

ABSTRACT The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) generates zero bias photocurrents in systems with broken inversion symmetry, offering a junction free pathway for self‐powered optoelectronic devices and conceptually overcoming the Shockley‐Queisser efficiency limit of conventional ju...

Crystallographic Orientation Controls Contact and Spin-Photoresponse in 2D Magnetic Heterostructures

Abstract Two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors such as CrSBr offer exceptional air stability, strong magnetic anisotropy, and rich magneto-optoelectronic coupling, yet inefficient electrical contacts continue to limit carrier injection and spin transport in practical devic...

Lightweight All‐Solid‐State Pouch Cells Freed from High Stack Pressure

Since 2011, ionic conductivity of some sulfide- and halide-based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have already reached a level comparable to that of liquid electrolytes. Numerous companies worldwide have proposed diverse technical pathways for commercializing electric vehicles wit...

Boosting Representation Learning for High-Level Semantic Information in Facial Expression Recognition

Facial expression recognition (FER) requires high-level semantic cues to interpret abstract emotions. However, existing FER approaches commonly suffer from sparse semantic descriptions and unwanted noise from redundant facial pixels. To tackle these issues, we propose a boosting...
