Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

SERS‐Based Nano‐ and Microsystems Toward Biomedical Applications

Small, EarlyView.
This review provides a current overview of nano‐ and microscale SERS‐based devices, encompassing all aspects from material design to practical applications. We highlight controlled SERS‐active architectures, including patterned substrates, nanorods, microspheres, micromotors, and microneedles, as well as combinations of these microfluidic systems.

Evolutionary Dynamic Multiobjective Optimisation Assisted by Inverse Regression Tree Predictor

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dynamic multiobjective optimisation problems (DMOPs) are optimisation problems with multiple conflicting objectives that can change over time. Most dynamic multiobjective optimisation evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) attempt to estimate Pareto‐optimal sets (PS) directly in the decision space.

A Quantised Push‐Sum Distributed Adaptive Momentum Algorithm for Optimisation Over Directed Networks

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate a distributed constrained optimisation problem over directed networks. The agents in the networks conduct local computations and communications, endeavouring to collaboratively minimise the aggregation of all locally known convex cost functions subject to a global constraint set.

Rational acquisition of laboratory equipment: an accurate mathematical model to estimate the trade‐offs in shared and nonshared equipment

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
We present a quantitative framework combining cost modelling and queueing theory to estimate hourly access costs, waiting times and congestion levels for shared high‐end scientific equipment. The approach is general, illustrated with cryo‐electron microscopy examples, and implemented in an open‐access online calculator to support evidence‐based ...
