Bypassing Pre‐Photoactivation in High‐Barrier Polyamide for Robust and Scalable Organic Persistent Luminescence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal paradigm resolves the trade‐off between ambient stability and barrier properties in organic persistent luminescent (OPL) polymers. By interlocking chromophores within a high‐barrier MXD6 matrix, we achieved no Pre‐photoactivation OPLs with exceptional long‐term stability in water.

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Object Segmentation for 3D Gaussian Splatting via Finger‐based VR Interface

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a human‐in‐the‐loop segmentation framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that integrates real‐time optimization with intuitive VR‐based finger prompting. Compared with existing automatic, learning‐based methods, it achieves significantly higher accuracy and reduced segmentation time.

Dual‐Camera Arthroscopic Bone Block Cerclage Technique Using a Tricortical Iliac Crest Autograft for Glenoid Reconstruction in Patients With Anterior Shoulder Instability

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Arthroscopic‐assisted grafting of the anterior glenoid in instability surgery offers lower morbidity and fewer complications than open techniques but faces challenges in operative field visualization. The 1.9 mm NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) enables simultaneous arthroscopic views from opposing angles, providing anterior glenoid ...
