Applications and prospects of artificial intelligence and digital medicine in pediatric nasal skull base tumors

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Pediatric nasal skull base tumors present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their deep location, nonspecific symptoms, and the narrow nasal cavity in children. Although artificial intelligence (AI) and digital medicine have advanced early diagnosis, multidisciplinary treatment, and prognosis, their application in these rare tumors remains ...

Microrobots: Two Decades of Progress

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Microrobots are governed by counterintuitive viscous‐dominated microscale physics, making traditional large‐scale driving principles unapplicable and restricting their reliable in‐body locomotion implementation. Multiple propulsion schemes and advanced microfabrication techniques have been developed to bypass such physical limitations and enrich ...

Liquid Crystal Polymers as Intrinsically Magnetic and Programmable Soft Materials for Microrobotics

Small, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are proposed as intrinsically magnetic, programmable, soft materials for microrobotics. Magnetic torque‐driven manipulation of LCP microobjects is achieved and characterized in terms of the step‐out frequency, reaching ∼0.6 Hz in a ∼250 mT magnetic field. The orientation of LCP microobjects in the magnetic field and their

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Magnetically Actuated Drops‐on‐Stilts Microrobots for Transport and Delivery of Hydrophobic Cargo

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.
Iron oxide nanoparticles and oil droplets in external magnetic fields form “drops‐on‐stilts” microrobots that transport hydrophobic cargo. Tunable nanoparticle–droplet interactions generate stilt‐like structures. Field rotation enables walking, obstacle navigation, and collective motion.
