A hollow‐structured Fe3O4@AgAu@PDA‐ZnPc nanosphere has been developed, exhibiting controllable catalytic activity and “photothermal‐photodynamic‐Ag+” coupling antibacterial characteristics. When subjected to a rotating magnetic field, these performances are uniquely enhanced by magnetic propulsion, allowing the nanosphere to function as a magnetic ...

A Real-Time Control Barrier Function-Based Safety Filter for Motion Planning with Arbitrary Road Boundary Constraints [PDF]
We present a real-time safety filter for motion planning, such as learning-based methods, using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs), which provides formal guarantees for collision avoidance with road boundaries. A key feature of our approach is its ability to directly incorporate road geometries of arbitrary shape without resorting to conservative ...

DexaPatch, an implantable, low‐swelling amphiphilic hydrogel system containing dexamethasone‐PLGA microparticles, is developed and characterized for sustained local steroid release to reduce postoperative inflammation in tight surgical spaces. DexaPatch significantly reduces postoperative edema and fibrosis in a rabbit model of anterior spinal surgery,

Establishing Reality-Virtuality Interconnections in Urban Digital Twins for Superior Intelligent Road Inspection [PDF]
Road inspection is essential for ensuring road maintenance and traffic safety, as road defects gradually emerge and compromise road functionality. Traditional methods, which rely on manual evaluations, are labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming. Although data-driven approaches are gaining traction, the scarcity and spatial sparsity of road defects

AGSENet: A Robust Road Ponding Detection Method for Proactive Traffic Safety [PDF]
Road ponding, a prevalent traffic hazard, poses a serious threat to road safety by causing vehicles to lose control and leading to accidents ranging from minor fender benders to severe collisions. Existing technologies struggle to accurately identify road ponding due to complex road textures and variable ponding coloration influenced by reflection ...
