Design and Control of a Dual‐Coil Magnetic Guidewire for Smooth and Adaptive Curvature Steering in Vascular Intervention

SmartBot, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
Magnetic guidewires enable remote navigation in tortuous vasculature but often suffer from limited controllability, inefficient force transmission, and safety risks at bifurcations. This work presents a dual‐coil magnetic guidewire actuated by an external permanent magnet, enabling two steering modes with smooth curvature control and improved axial ...

Origin and evolution of water oxidation before the last common ancestor of the Cyanobacteria [PDF]

, 2015
Photosystem II, the water oxidizing enzyme, altered the course of evolution by filling the atmosphere with oxygen. Here, we reconstruct the origin and evolution of water oxidation at an unprecedented level of detail by studying the phylogeny of all D1 ...

Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 2, January 10, 2026.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Patient‐Specific Cerebral Blood Flow Models in Predicting Internal Carotid Artery Stenting Flows

Clinical Neuroimaging, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose It is well known that the blood flow rate in the internal carotid artery (ICA) improves following a stenting procedure. Endovascular neurosurgeons are interested in estimating this flow increase prior to the interventions. This study uses patient‐specific cerebral blood flow models to predict post‐stenting ICA flow rates

A Study on the Thermal Performance of Hollow Glass Windows With Reflective Aluminum Louvers

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study evaluates the energy‐saving potential of hollow glass windows integrated with reflective aluminum foil louvers, tailored for hot‐summer, cold‐winter regions. The reflective integration minimizes solar absorption and bolsters insulation. Experimental results indicate a 14.9% reduction in heat transfer coefficient (K) (from 2.427 to 2.066 W ...
