Smart tools and robotic surgery are helping us take a step into the operating room of the future. As this technology develops, it can potentially help surgeons perform total knee arthroplasty (TKA) faster and with increased accuracy. In addition, this technology will reduce the number of instruments needed for the procedure, thus improving efficiency. As technology advances, smart tools may become commonplace in the operating room and may fulfill their potential to transform the way TKA is performed. Such potential is important, as there has been an exponential rise in the number of TKAs performed annually. The resulting demand on surgeons and hospital systems will necessitate improving technology so that it can be used to treat more patients while maintaining quality of care. Smart tools and robotic surgery may represent one answer to this demand.

Lock-in amplifiers (LIAs) are critical tools in precision measurement, particularly for applications involving weak signals obscured by noise. Advances in signal processing algorithms and hardware synthesis have enabled accurate signal extraction, even in extremely noisy environments, making LIAs indispensable in sensor applications for healthcare, industry, and other services. For instance, the electrical impedance measurement of the human body, organs, tissues, and cells, known as bioelectrical impedance, is commonly used in biomedical and healthcare applications because it is non-invasive and relatively inexpensive.

Recycling end-of-life wind turbines poses a significant challenge due to the increasing number of turbines going out of use. After many years of operation, turbines lose their functional properties, generating a substantial amount of composite waste that requires efficient and environmentally friendly processing methods. Wind turbine blades, in particular, are a problematic component in the recycling process due to their complex material composition.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently made unprecedented contributions in every walk of life, but it has not been able to work its way into diagnostic medicine and standard clinical practice yet. Although data scientists, researchers, and medical experts have been working in the direction of designing and developing computer aided diagnosis (CAD) tools to serve as assistants to doctors, their large-scale adoption and integration into the healthcare system still seems far-fetched. Diagnostic radiology is no exception.

Photoacid generators (PAGs) are invaluable molecular tools that exhibited tremendous potential in emerging interdisciplinary researches of life-science, nanotechnology and smart materials. However, current PAGs are primarily mono-functional in terms of acid generation and rely on UV/deep-blue light excitation, posing a fundamental hurdle to their broader adoption. Developing cooperatively functioned PAGs with long-wavelength light responsiveness presents a formidable challenge due to the absence of suitable molecular scaffolds.
