Using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to improve access to blood in low‐ and middle‐income countries: Current challenges and opportunities

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood transfusion is life‐saving for patients in emergencies, but low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) often face a severe shortage of banked blood. Establishing blood banks in rural areas presents substantial logistical and economic challenges for many LMICs.

“Win‐Win” Structural Engineering of Chinese Herb Residues‐Derived Porous Graphitic Carbons: Decoupling the Porosity‐Graphitization Antagonism for Ultrahigh‐Rate Supercapacitors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
This work proposes a strategy that overcomes the porosity‐graphitization antagonism in carbon materials, converting Sargentodoxa cuneata residue into porous graphitic carbons to enable sustainable, high‐performance energy storage from biomass waste. The antagonism between porosity and graphitization critically limits carbon supercapacitor performance ...

Prioritized Real‐Time UAV‐Based Vessel Detection for Efficient Maritime Search

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 561-577, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Real‐time vessel detection in maritime environments is crucial for diverse applications requiring speed and accuracy. Static camera views often introduce blind spots, compromising detection efficiency. This paper proposes a novel, real‐time UAV‐based system that uses a dynamic camera control strategy to address this limitation.

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 109-130, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures
