Tunable asymmetric swimming in biflagellate microswimmers
Many biological microswimmers can modulate their swimming gait to achieve directional control of motility, especially when performing steering towards specific directional cues. This can be achieved without the need for obvious morphological or structural asymmetries in the form...

SurgAnt-ViVQA: learning to anticipate surgical events through GRU-driven temporal cross-attention
Abstract Purpose Anticipating forthcoming surgical events is vital for real-time assistance in endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, where visibility is limited and workflow changes rapidly. Most visual question answering (VQA) systems reason on isolated frames with static...

Element-Specific DonorNumbers for Anions
Abstract Anion interactions with cations/molecules are crucial across chemistry and biology: in battery electrolytes, synthesis, atmospheric processes, and protein denaturation. Selecting the optimum anion represents an immense challenge, as anion interactions are diverse and com...

Spatially Explicit Optimal Decarbonization Pathways for China’s Cement Industry
Abstract Cement production contributes about 8% of global CO2 emissions, but conventional assessments often overlook spatiotemporal heterogeneity in demand, energy resources, infrastructure, and policy constraints. This study develops a high-resolution whole-system optimization f...
