We investigate the diffusion of a rigid rodlike object in a two-dimensional disordered host medium, which consists of static pointlike sources of force. The points are distributed with long-range spatial correlation and interact with the rod via a repulsive potential. The time dependence of the rod's center-of-mass mean-squared displacement and its rotational mean-squared displacement are obtained for various degrees of long-range spatial correlation and rod's lengths. These transport characteristics are compared to those obtained in previous studies for the case of homogeneous distribution of force points. It is shown that existence of long-range correlation among force points makes the center of mass diffusion anomalous.

Vision transformer (ViT)and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) each possess distinct strengths in medical imaging: ViT excels in capturing long-range dependencies through self-attention, while CNNs are adept at extracting local features via spatial convolution filters. While ViT may struggle with capturing detailed local spatial information, critical for tasks like anomaly detection in medical imaging, shallow CNNs often fail to effectively abstract global context. This study aims to explore and evaluate hybrid architectures that integrate ViT and CNN to leverage their complementary strengths for enhanced performance in medical vision tasks, such as segmentation, classification, reconstruction, and prediction.

Modularly organizing active micromachines into high-grade metamachines makes a great leap for operating the microscopic world in a biomimetic way. However, modulating the nonreciprocal interactions among different colloidal motors through chemical reactions to achieve the controllable construction of active colloidal metamachines with specific dynamic properties remains challenging. Here, we report the phototactic active colloidal metamachines constructed by shape-directed dynamic self-assembly of chemically driven peanut-shaped TiO colloidal motors and Janus spherical Pt/SiO colloidal motors.

Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles essential for generating energy in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria can be readily visualized in 3D using Volume Electron Microscopy (vEM), and accurate image segmentation is vital for quantitative analysis of mitochondrial morphology and function. To address the challenge of segmenting small mitochondrial compartments in vEM images, we propose an automated mitochondrial segmentation method called GCTransNet.

In computer-aided diagnosis systems, precise feature extraction from CT scans of colorectal cancer using deep learning is essential for effective prognosis. However, existing convolutional neural networks struggle to capture long-range dependencies and contextual information, resulting in incomplete CT feature extraction. To address this, the PEDRA-EFB0 architecture integrates patch embeddings and a dual residual attention mechanism for enhanced feature extraction and survival prediction in colorectal cancer CT scans.

The miniaturization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is pivotal in ultrahigh-resolution displays. Metal-halide perovskites promise efficient light emission, long-range carrier transport and scalable manufacturing for bright microscale LED (micro-LED) displays. However, thin-film perovskites with inhomogeneous spatial distribution of light emission and unstable surface under lithography are incompatible with the micro-LED devices.
