Minimally invasive surgical techniques using catheter is now used in many procedures. Development of surgical training of such procedures requires real-time simulation of tool-organ interaction. In such processes, each subsequent step of interaction would be based on the current configuration of the surgical tool (guidewire in this case), leading to development of techniques to solve and visualize the configuration of tool at every time step. This paper presents a Finite Element (FEM) based approach to simulate the tool-organ interaction.

Two-dimensional materials with a nanostructure have been introduced as promising candidates for SERS platforms for sensing application. However, the dynamic control and tuning of SERS remains a long-standing problem. Here, we demonstrated active tuning of the enhancement factor of the first- and second-order Raman mode of monolayer (1L) MoS transferred onto a flexible metallic nanotip array.

This study investigates human semicircular canal (SCC) dynamics under off-center rotational conditions. Previous research has modeled human rotational perception and the dynamic response of the SCCs by assuming a centered rotation state, where the rotation axis aligns with the SCC's center. However, this assumption is not representative of most real-life rotational situations.

Optical sensors are among the most significant optical devices that have found extensive applications for THz sensing. Surface plasmon-based sensors have attracted increasing attention more than other kinds of optical sensors such as photonic crystal, optical fiber, and graphene sensors, owing to their compact footprint, fast reaction, and high sensitivity value. Therefore, this work reviews plasmonic sensor structures divided into three general categories.

The adsorption-conversion paradigm of polysulfides during the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR) is appealing to tackle the shuttle effect in Li-S batteries, especially based upon atomically dispersed electrocatalysts. However, mechanistic insights into such catalytic systems remain ambiguous, limiting the understanding of sulfur electrochemistry and retarding the rational design of available catalysts. Herein, we systematically explore the polysulfide adsorption-conversion essence via a geminal-atom model system to understand the catalyst roles toward an expedited SRR.

Article Synopsis
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a standard surgical procedure for hip joint replacement, but it can cause complications like stress shielding and cortical hypertrophy due to mechanical mismatches between solid implants and bone.
- This study aims to create porous implants with adjustable mechanical properties using topology optimization, which may better integrate with bone tissue and reduce complications associated with solid implants.
- Finite element analyses indicated that using porous implants instead of solid ones can enhance stress distribution in healthy bones, suggesting that optimized porous designs could significantly improve bone health by decreasing stress shielding effects.
