Development of safety performance measures for different crashes severity at urban roundabouts
Results in EngineeringRoundabouts are widely utilized due to their perceived safety benefits compared to other unsignalized intersections. Studies have demonstrated that roundabouts are effective in reducing the frequency and severity of traffic crashes.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a molecular strategy to assemble one‐dimensional (1D) materials into two‐dimensional (2D) van der Waals metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystals of [FeX(pzX)(bpy)] (X = Cl, F) form anisotropic 2D layers that can be mechanically exfoliated into thin sheets.

Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

Determinants of crash numbers and constellations at turbo roundabouts in Germany
Traffic Safety ResearchTurbo roundabouts are a relatively new design. Thus far, research on their safety has focused on comparisons with other types of intersection and the effects of physical lane dividers.

Anomalous Crystallinity and Magnetism in Chemically Disordered Coherent Heterostructures
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Coherent isostructural high‐entropy oxide heterostructures are realized despite remarkable >5% interfacial lattice distortion. The resulting buried interface exhibits abrupt valence reconstruction which contributes to 2 × enhanced exchange bias in the heterostructure relative to constituent layers, demonstrating how chemical disorder enabled anomalous ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A light‐responsive liquid crystal (LC) polymer network integrating molecular rotary motors and photothermal converters enables the decoupling of photochemical and photothermal effects. Selective wavelength activation allows orthogonal control over persistent shape encoding and fast reversible motion, enabling programmable soft robots capable of complex

Spatial distribution of heavy metals in the topsoil on roundabouts in Zielona Góra, Poland
Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2015 In most cases, traffic pollution deposition is linear with regularities in its distribution in transect routes (canyon-type effect). The aim of this study is to identify different characteristics of heavy metal deposition on large roundabouts, which are ...

Magnetic DNA Origami Nanorotors
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic actuation is a powerful and broadly applicable actuation mechanism due to its programmability and compatibility with biological entities. Here we demonstrate magnetic DNA origami nanorotors (MADONAs) by assembling magnetic nanocubes on DNA origami.

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.
