Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates a self‐assembly process to generate free‐standing piezoelectric nanomembranes, forming ultracompact microtubular acoustic wave sensors and actuators. The miniaturized 3D piezoelectric platform reported in this work can be applied in telecommunication, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics. Moreover, the 3D self‐assembly can add

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Coupled materials design enables a monolithic fiber that integrates complementary sensing regimes into a single wearable strand. By preserving informative signal features across subtle physiological deformation, large body motion, and mixed mechanical inputs, the dual‐gradient architecture generates synchronized, less redundant outputs that improve ...

An Automatic Update Framework for As-Designed Pipeline BIM Model Based on Laser Scanning Point Cloud
BuildingsAccurately reconstructing Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems from laser-scanned point clouds is often hindered by structural occlusions, sensor noise, and extreme scale imbalance between large pipes and small fittings.
