Self‐Driving Laboratory Optimizes the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Thermoresponsive Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐

Zero Watermarking Using Convolutional Additive Self‐Attention Vision Transformer and Discrete Wavelet Transform‐Variance‐Based Feature Descriptor for Medical Image Security in Mobile Healthcare Services

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A zero‐watermarking algorithm that combines a refined convolutional additive self‐attention vision transformer (CAS‐ViT) with a discrete wavelet transform variance‐based feature descriptor (DVFD) is proposed for protecting the privacy of medical images in mobile healthcare services.
